Winter Birding in Graham County
Graham County is a Birder Friendly Community and several locations within the county are part of the North Carolina Birding Trail – Smoky Mountain Area.
Fall Fly Fishing
In Western North Carolina, autumn is unfolding. Soon the bright yellows and burnt oranges and flaming reds will blanket the mountainous landscape, offering a colorful playground for all who adventure here. Mother Nature is always on her time, and yet the much-anticipated change of scenery from summer to fall couldn’t be more welcomed.
ENJOYING GRAHAM COUNTY WHILE PHYSICAL DISTANCING
According to an article in American Association of Retired persons (AARP) since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, public health officials around the globe have zeroed in on one action to slow the spread of the virus: social distancing. But now, some experts are swapping that phrase for another that they say more accurately defines the concept.
“We’re changing to say ‘physical distance,’ and that’s on purpose because we want people to still remain connected,” Maria Van Kerkhove, an epidemiologist with the World Health Organization (WHO), said at a recent WHO press conference.
Mushroom Appreciation
Graham County is one of the most wonderful spots on the East Coast of the United States to see mushrooms, lichens, mosses and ferns. All year long the mountains and valleys are filled with beauty, but you have to train yourself to look. For years, I hiked the trails and explored the stream banks and reveled in the birds, the trees and especially the wildflowers. Then I was introduced to my first wild-foraged mushroom by a friend of mine from Asheville, Mr. Alan Muskat. Alan came up to my property and led a mushroom hike to seek as many different mushrooms as we could find. I was astounded and fascinated. They were everywhere I looked!
Delayed Harvest in Graham County
