Managed by the Nature Conservancy, this 1,600-acre nature preserve is located in Preston County, West Virginia and Garrett County, Maryland. From the Nature Conservancy site - "A window into ice ages past, Cranesville Swamp is located in a "frost pocket," an area where the surrounding hills capture moisture and cold air that conspire to create a landscape more reminiscent of habitat found much further north in Canada. Given Cranesville Swamp’s lush forest and wetland, it’s not surprising that it is home to an exceptional variety of animals. In total, more than 50 rare plants and animals live at Cranesville." Did not see a ton of birds, mostly they were high up in the trees - along with the squirrels. But I did see a hairy woodpecker and a few butterflies. Still, it was a nice day to be in the preserve on my visit, Thursday August 10th, 2017.
The Disney Wildlerness Perserve, owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy, protects more than 12,000 acres of valuable upland and wetland habitat in the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, at the headwaters to the Everglades. Disney Wilderness Preserve is a central compnent to the new Everglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge with the Nature Conservancy is helping create in partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Historic Longleaf Pine savanas over low-lying understories of saw palmetto and wiregrass define much of the landscape, maintained my consistent fire management.

This big pond sits in the middle of Rowena Plateau. It was a calm day (very unusual for this area) and the surface of the water was still.
Tom McCall Preserve near Hood River, Oregon
During fall of 2012, Hurricane Sandy eroded the beach at Blowing Rocks Preserve. Before Sandy, according the Nature Conservancy, Blowing Rocks Preserve had the largest outcropping of Anastasia limestone on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. The area is known as "Blowing Rocks" because waves during high tides, or during storms, rolling against the sraggy shoreline, sends fountains of foaming sea water as much as 50 feet into the air blowing through cracks in the limestone outcrops. The Anastasia limestone formations are composed of ancient shell material. Small fossils of clams and oysters are clearly visible in the rock faces. After Sandy many of the limestone outcrops were gone or reshaped. To view a 2010 photograph of the same beach area go to www.flickr.com/photos/23711298@N07/8673440038/
Granite rock, which is brought in by barge, is methodically placed in the Piankatank River near Gwynn’s Island in Mathews County Virginia. The rock is the basis for the newest, 25-acre oyster reef in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is overseeing the more than $2 million sanctuary reef project in partnership with the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and the Nature Conservancy.
