My friend Tom Earnhardt recently sent me an extraordinary array of photographs from The Nature Conservancy's Green Swamp Preserve, a magical place famous for its longleaf pine savannas, its wild orchids and its carnivorous plants.

Memories of Nags Head Woods
Thirty years ago, Lu Ann Jones and Amy Glass wrote one of my favorite books on the history of the Outer Banks: “Everyone Helped His Neighbor": Memories of Nags Head Woods. Long out of print, the book is now available again, thanks to its original publisher, The Nature Conservancy, and to its new distributor, the University of North Carolina Press.
