NATURE AT THE SUMMIT----HARD TO TOP
MAY 30–JUNE 1, 2008
ANC ANNUAL MEETING
The Summit at Haw River State Park
near Greensboro, NC
The Haw River State Park was born in 2003 and is still in its infancy, but already includes
one of the state park system’s crown jewels, The Summit Environmental Education Center.
Purchased by the state in 2005, this facility is where the T. Gilbert Pearson Audubon Society
(Guilford County) will host the 2008 ANC Annual Meeting. Formerly owned by the Episcopal Church,
the Summit provides one-stop conferencing, with newly renovated meeting facilities, motel-style lodging,
and dining rooms. The Summit also is replete with great birding opportunities on the wonderful
trails around its 6-acre lake, and along the boardwalk leading through the wetlands to the Haw River.
From this incredibly beautiful 300-acre place just 10 miles north of Greensboro a variety of other
great birding areas and nature walks are easily accessible. For history buffs, a short drive into
Greensboro will provide access to Pearson’s bird and egg collections as well as a visit to his
gravesite in Green Hill Cemetery. The Pearson Chapter invites all Auduboners in NC to join us for
our annual gathering at a truly exceptional place, the Summit at Haw River State Park.
The 2008 Annual Meeting, we are sure, will be great fun for all.
Mark your calendars for MAY 30–JUNE 1, 2008, and plan to stay “out in the woods” for the whole
weekend. We’ll “wine and dine” you, and dish up great birding right outside your door.
