Abstract:

Goose Creek joined the NC State Parks system in September 1974. Early on, it was recognized that the park's few remaining longleaf pines needed protection. The park's first superintendent, Lauris Joyner was one of the first employees in the system to be trained in the method of prescribed burns, critical for the survival of longleaf pines.
