Not just Deer, Bears, Squirrels, Birds, all creatures great and small, that’s our motto. And what’s why Beech Mountain is one of only nine communities in the state of North Carolina to be designated a Wildlife Habitat Community by The National Wildlife Federation (NWF).
To receive this recognition, numerous areas in the community both public and private were submitted to the NWF for consideration. Each area provides the following for wildlife: food, water, cover and a place to raise young. This can be as simple as a small bird bath, a nesting box for birds, edible plants, and shrubs for cover.
Community leaders and advocates for wildlife on the mountain, don’t want to harm the place we all love and welcome the opportunity to participate in preservation of nature. Beech Mountain’s Parks and Recreation Department has taken the lead in developing educational programming and creating opportunities to enjoy nature respectfully and without disruption on the local trails. Town landscaping has been carefully created to use mostly native plants, attract pollinators, and provide cover for beneficial insects and other small creatures.
