The Heritage of Wildlife The flora and fauna of our land. |
||
The mountains of Western North Carolina are blessed with one of the most diverse groups of plant life. Since the time that man first journeyed into this area, he has been drawn to the beauty and adundance of the native wild flowers and majestic forests.
Some of the more important trees include the hardwoods such as oaks, poplars, chestnuts,
hickeys and walnuts along with the evergreens including the pines, spruces, balsams
and firs. These trees provided the material for the settlers to make the shelters, heat
their homes, fashion their tools from and later to provide income when the timber industry
was booming.
