Happy Birthday #uwharrienationalforest!! We 💓 U 🤗 ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ Reposted from @uwharriemountainradio ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ Happy Birthday to The Uwharrie National Forest! ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ The forest derives its name from the Uwharrie Mountains, the ancient mountains atop which most of the forest sits. The western border of the forest is made by the Yadkin River and Great Pee Dee River while the northern border follows the northernmost range of the Uwharries near Asheboro. To the east, the forest is bordered by the Montgomery County seat of Troy. The Forest lies within the Southeastern mixed forests ecoregion and supports mixed forests of pine and oak. Land was first purchased by the Federal government in 1931, and the area was known as the Uwharrie Reservation. The Uwharrie Forest was given federal designation in the early 1960s by President John F. Kennedy, along with the Nantahala, Pisgah, and Croatan National Forests. ~ @wikipedia ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪ Subscribe to the #RootOneSixGrind #Podcast.
