Forsyth Audubon will be counting hawks and other raptors in two shifts each day: 10:00 am – 2:00 pm and 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm but you can come at any time for as long as you like. Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. Read about the history of the hawk watch on their website at https://forsythaudubon.org/
Mount Mitchell State Park is now reopened to the public.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is open up to the state park entrance but remains closed from just past Mount Mitchell through milepost 334 near Little Switzerland. Please read our blog post for the most up-to-date information on park access and trails status.
