Abstract:

Two natural areas located in the Piedmont abound in natural beauty and are home to trees, plants, birds, and animals not commonly found outside the mountain regions. They exist because they formed along north-facing slopes that are cool and damp, similar to the environments found in the higher elevations of the mountains. Silcox-Jarrett describes the Occoneechee Mountain State Natural Area, located in Orange County, and the White Pines Nature Preserve, located in Chatham County.
