Skunk Cabbage —
Weird in Many Ways!
Pilot Mountain — A North Carolina Icon —
Receives Major Addition!
A strange thing comes to
the surface of wetlands in
the mountains and the
northern piedmont in the
coldest time of winter. It
can generate heat from a
bulb deep underground
and melt through ice and
snow. This is a plant that
can produce as much heat
as a small mammal in the
middle of winter. So what
is it? Skunk Cabbage
(Symplocarpus foetidus), a
native plant found in
wetlands all over North
America. The plant gets its
name from big floppy
green leaves which are
seen in midsummer,
although it is

Piedmont Land Conservancy has
recently helped facilitate the
largest land addition to Pilot
Mountain State Park in over
30 years. The 70-acre expansion
will protect the Pilot Creek
watershed, create a new hiking
trailhead and provide other
benefits to the park, which
features miles of trails, camping,
climbing and views of the iconic
Pilot Mountain knob, rising over
2,000 feet into the Piedmont sky.
Pilot Mountain in Surry County —
a North Carolina landmark.
Matt Windsor, Superintendent of Pilot Mountain State Park, adds to the list of
benefits for protecting this parcel of land, “… we can hopefully link up with a
planned greenway in the Town of Pilot Mountain in the not too distant
future. Hikers on the Mountains-To-Sea Trail would then be able to travel all
the way from the Yadkin River to downtown Pilot Mountain
without ever leaving the trail. "
In addition, Windsor says the park has received a commitment
from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for milkweed plants,
allowing the creation of a Monarch Butterfly waystation in the
expanded area.

In November I finally had to face up to knee
surgery. Not even the greatest doctor in
Greensboro could keep me from going under
the knife. Since the surgery, I’ve been on
crutches and am just now regaining my
freedom to walk.
When I call it “freedom to walk” I’m not joking. November
through January is my favorite time of the year. There’s duck
hunting to be done, trips to the coast to surf fish, New Year’s Day
hikes, footballs to throw and it’s a great time to be out meeting
landowners to talk about their properties. Unfortunately, I had to
miss out on those activities this go ‘round.
In 2016, I’m going to appreciate all of these opportunities, and
more, to the fullest. I encourage you, too, to appreciate all that we
have here in the Piedmont. Whether it’s hiking, mountain biking,
trout fishing, duck hunting or your own favorite pursuit, we’ve got
it all, and each and every outing in nature should be cherished.
From your friends here at PLC, thank you for helping
PLC make outdoor opportunities available for our
generation and those still to come.
Thank You for Helping
PLC Celebrate 25 Years!
PLC bids farewell to Board
member Sherry Duvall, who
chaired our 25th Anniversary
planning committee in 2015.
Sherry has been involved with
PLC for roughly 15 years in
various capacities, most recently
serving as Board President. She
begins a new chapter of her life in
Atlanta, GA — and we assured
her there is a land trust there too!
Thank you, Sherry — for your
many years of service and
support of PLC.

Also … IRA Charitable Rollover Incentive Made Permanent!
Recently, Congress permanently extended several charitable giving incentives including the IRA charitable
rollover. This allows individuals aged 70 1/2 and older to make tax-free distributions of up to $100,000 from
their IRAs to charitable nonprofits. This provides an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact in
conservation work in our community. To learn more, talk with your financial advisor about IRA Charitable
Rollovers.

Piedmont Land Conservancy received a grant from the
N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund to assist
with the purchase. The remaining funds were provided
by the State Parks via the federal Land & Water
Conservation Fund (LWCF), a pr ogr am that applies
revenue from off-shore oil drilling leases and assists with
conservation of our nation’s most special places. LWCF
had previously expired in September after a 50-year
history. The federal spending package recently passed
included reauthorization of LWCF for three years and an
increase in funding for the first year. Senator Richard
Burr sponsored legislation calling for the reauthorization
of LWCF.
Kevin Redding, executive director of Piedmont Land
Conservancy, adds, “A project like this is a perfect, local
example of why the LWCF and the Clean Water
Management Trust Fund are so important to our
region’s quality of life”.
As the North Carolina State Park system celebrates its
100th anniversary, PLC is proud to have assisted with land acquisition at all four parks in our region —
Hanging Rock State Park, Haw River State Park, Mayo River State Park and Pilot Mountain State Park.
Skunk Cabbage: Weird in Many Ways
(continued from page 1)
the flower that generates heat and appears in mid-January. The heat not only helps melt ice and snow but
allows the production of a stinky smell that attracts insects on the warmer days of winter. The flower looks
like a cupped hand and has a central spike of flower parts like its relative, Jack-in-the-Pulpit. The flies and
beetles that find this flower seek the heat in the winter and also pollinate the flower.
The seeds that result from pollination fall onto the surface of the wetland and germinate. The plant then has
to grow and produce a bulb that is below the level of freezing in the next winter. This is done by another
weird adaptation: contractile roots. These are roots that grow down and pull the embryonic plants down until
they reach a depth of three or more feet below the surface. The big cabbage- like leaves at the surface pump
the bulb full of resources for the cycle to repeat the next winter.
Skunk Cabbage occurs in several locations in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Look for it this winter and
early spring while you are out hiking!

Stewardship — Fulfilling a Promise
It’s all too easy to measure our progress by numbers such as acres protected,
dollars raised, or members served. But the real story of conservation is much
deeper. It’s about preserving our natural communities of plants and animals,
ensuring prime soils for family farms aren’t lost forever, and providing quiet
places for people to enjoy nature. It’s about the relationships with caring
landowners who’ve made a commitment to future generations. It’s about
introducing young people to the wonders of nature through our 2nd Saturday
Outings program and field trips to our Knight Brown Nature Preserve. And
it’s about our promise to protect our conserved lands forever, which we call
stewardship.
PLC Stewardship Director Ken Bridle
constantly educates people on the
importance of stewardship.
Stewardship is one of the most important activities we do. Each year, our
Stewardship Director, Ken Bridle, spends countless hours visiting protected
properties to ensure conservation values are intact. We also try to improve
our protected lands to benefit wildlife and water quality.
One small example is our partnership this year with the U.S Fish and Wildlife
Service’s Save the Monarch Project in North Carolina. This fall,
PLC was selected to receive milkweed plants from the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, which were propagated by the N.C. Botanical
Garden. The common milkweed provides critical food for monarch
caterpillars and adults, and this project’s goal is to boost the
monarch’s declining numbers through widespread plantings. PLC
planted milkweed plugs at four of our properties - the Hill Farm on
the Dan River, Knight Brown Nature Preserve, Pilot Mountain
State Park and Price Park, about 1.5 acr es of land total and 25
A bumblebee hovers above a blooming milkweed at
plants on each property. Hopefully with this boost, we can do our

part to help the beautiful monarch butterfly.
Helping the Monarchs
One of nature’s wonders is seeing a monarch butterfly. One of the
most remarkable things about monarchs is their impressive migration
up to 3,000 miles to travel from the United States and Canada south
to Mexico for the winter.
Monarch sightings are becoming increasingly rare though, due to
greater uses of pesticides and herbicides, abnormal patterns of drought
Photo by Gary Carter
and rainfall, and loss of winter habitat in Mexico. In North America,
we have lost 175,000 acres of milkweed, the monarch’s primary food source. Over wintering habitat in
Mexico is now less than 2 acres, down from more than 50 in the mid-1990s. Population numbers of monarchs
are down 90 percent in the past two decades. There are now efforts underway to place the monarch on the
endangered species list.

Friends Garden Celebrates
Ten Years!
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Emily H.
Allen, Friendship Garden volunteer program!
Thanks to countless volunteers over the past decade,
the Emily H. Allen Friendship Garden continues to
amaze visitors with its year-round beauty: spring
ephemeral wildflowers, lush summer greenery, autumn leaves, and winter’s woodland wonders.
Volunteers are faithful in carrying out the vision
of the late Emily Allen for her “Friendship
Garden”, and they sure have fun doing so!
During these first ten years, Friends Volunteers have cumulatively donated over 4,330
hours to maintain this unique 6-acre wildflower preserve in Winston-Salem.
Thank You!
*For a list of spring garden workdays, see page 3; an outing to the garden, see page 4.
