THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9,2019 3B Bertie site with Lost Colony link now state nature area BY GINGER LIVINGSTON The Daily Reflector GREENVILLE — A Si mile stretch of property in Bertie County that’s rich in ecology and perhaps has a link to the earliest English colonists is now the prop erty of the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation. The N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Re sources announced Jan. 2 that nearly 1,000 acres along Salmon Creek had been conveyed to the state by the North Carolina Coastal Land Trust. The property will be managed as the new Salmon Creek State Natural Area, according to a news release. “State natural areas are focused on conservation of rare and sensitive habi tats based on flora, fauna, and other ecosystem com ponents,” said Katie Hall, a spokeswoman with the Division of Parks and Rec reation. The areas typically have few facilities and are managed by staff at the nearest state park. “They are protected for research and, when safe for the resources and visitors, for wildlife observation or photography,” Hall said. The property is located south of U.S. Highway 17 near where the creek enters the Albemarle Sound. There are floodplain for ests of cypress-gum swamp and bottomland hardwood forest, along Salmon Creek, the news release said. It also contains tidal freshwater marsh recognized as ecolog ically significant by the N.C. Natural Heritage Program. The property is the subject of archaeologi cal research by The First Colony Foundation. Native Algonkin and English ar tifacts indicative of settle ment by the Roanoke colo nists have been found on the site. Some researchers theorize the artifacts could provide evidence that survi vors from The Lost Colony relocated to the area in the late 1580s. “We are thrilled to have saved this property to make it available to the people of North Carolina, and we appreciate the pub- lic’s outpouring of support for conserving this area,” said Camilla Herlevich, ex ecutive director of the N.C. Coastal Land Trust. Two years ago the Salm on Creek property was fist ed for sale as a prime wa terfront development by a Raleigh real estate broker. The property was trans ferred to the state thanks to funds awarded by the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the N.C. Attorney General’s Envi ronmental Enhancement Grant Fund, the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, the Enviva Forest Conser- PHOTO COURTESY N.C.

Division of Parks and Recreation. vation Fund and the U.S. Department of Defense. “The Salmon Creek property stands out due to its rich cultural history, truly pristine ecosystems and unique archaeological resources,” said Susi Ham ilton, secretary of the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. “We are grateful for the tireless work of the N.C. Coastal Land Trust and all of the partners in funding this project. We look forward to offering this new state nat ural area in Bertie County, a beautiful part of our state currently underserved by our state parks system.” Because the area is a rare habitat and contains archaeological sites there is no plan for it to become a state park, Hall said. The master plan will in clude provisions for pro tecting the archaeological site if the public is allowed to access the area. Hall said future exploration of archaeological sites will be determined by existing partnerships, with advice from archaeologists, and will be included in the mas ter plan. The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust has con served more than 72,000 acres of land with scenic, recreational, historic and ecological value in eastern North Carolina. They work to enrich the coastal com munities through conser vation, education, and pro moting land stewardship.
