NC Sandhills / Weymouth Woods

Poor

NC Sandhills around Weymouth Woods-Sandhills Nature Preserve, Fort Bragg, and the Carolina Sandhills NWR. Globally-rare longleaf pine / turkey oak / wiregrass sandhills — deep sandy soils, frequently-burned pine savanna. Red-cockaded woodpecker habitat. Chanterelles reliable in oak-pine duff after summer storms; indigo milk cap in longleaf groves; chicken-of-the-woods on turkey oak snags.
