"It seems that every season someone who is
uneducated to the Peregrine closure is seen
climbing in closed areas.
Every year on January 15* Steve
Longnecker, a local Brevard rock climber,
volunteers to post signs on trees at the
base of Looking Glass Rock. In big o i
black letters backed by a bright orange
background the sign says, “Area behind
This Sign Closed Temporarily to Protect
Peregrine Falcon Nest Sites.” These signs
are sponsored and enforced by e
Forest Service and the Nordi Carolina
Wildlife Resources Commission.
