SUMMARY:Pollinator Week
DESCRIPTION:Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park plants pollinator garden in celebration of \nNational Pollinator Week – June 22 – 28\, 2020 \n  \nRecently\, on a cool morning in Elizabethton\, the staff of Sycamore Shoals came together to broadcast the seed of native wildflowers and grasses over a ½ acre of land at Sabine Hill State Historic Site. Considering the historic nature of the site\, everyone arrived in historic attire to accomplish the task at hand!  With National Pollinator Week quickly approaching on June 22nd\, this was the perfect time to get the seed in the ground and begin our work in creating new habitat for pollinators in Tennessee. \n\nThe funding for the project was provided through a partnership between the Tennessee Department of Transportation’s Pollinator Habitat Program\, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation\, and the Tennessee State Park’s Honey Project\, with a goal to promote pollinator and environmental health in parks and across the state.  Along with this goal are opportunities for interpretive programming that will teach about the importance of pollinators\, the need to protect habitat\, types of pollinators\, and what we can all do to protect these many species. \n\nWe often think of colonial honeybees as being pollinators\, but there are many more.  In Tennessee there are approximately 400 species of solitary bees that do not live in colonies.  They are tiny and can nest underground or in hollow stems.  In addition to bees; birds\, butterflies\, bats\, and beetles all do their part in pollinating our native plants.  In turn\, these beautiful meadows provide shelter\, egg nurseries\, food\, and rest for pollinators. \nSabine Hill State Historic Site\, managed by the Tennessee Historical Commission and Tennessee State Parks\, will be open for tours this summer each Wednesday through Sunday.  You can search for a date and register for a tour by visiting www.tnstateparks.com/parks/sycamore-shoals \n\nPlease also visit Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park’s Butterfly Garden near Patriot’s Path walking trail by the Watauga River.  Cared for by the East Tennessee Master Gardeners\, this site is also a North American Butterfly Association Monarch Waystation.   Within easy access of the parking area in front of the Visitors Center\, you will find a Tennessee Urban Forestry certified Arboretum with a wide variety of signed\, native trees.

We encourage attendees to bring masks and keep 6 feet apart from other guests. \nTo register for one or more of these great programs\, please visit  https://tnstateparks.com/parks/sycamore-shoals  and choose Upcoming Events in the left hand menu.   From there you will see all our upcoming programs.  Most programs are offered free of charge except for historic house tours of the Carter Mansion and Sabine Hill\, that will begin in mid-June.  There is also the opportunity to donate to Sycamore Shoals when you register for your free program. \n\nOur seasonal interpretive rangers for our 2020 summer season are Laura Ellis and Taylor Moorefield. \n  \nLaura Ellis returns to Sycamore Shoals as a 2nd year seasonal interpretive ranger.  Prior to her work at Sycamore Shoals\, she was a summer camp staff member.  This Fall\, Laura will be a senior in college working towards a degree in history.  Throughout the year\, she presents historic programs in period attire with the Washington County Regiment NC Militia and is on track to become a militia member. \n\nLaura’s area of expertise is Early American culture (from settlement to 1860). Her goal for this summer is to “delve further into my knowledge of colonial life\, especially in Southern Appalachia\, and share the knowledge with the public in hopes of preserving our local history for decades to come.” \n\nTaylor Moorefield is also no stranger to Sycamore Shoals. He enjoys re-enacting and living history\, and has participated in Liberty: The Saga of Sycamore Shoals for 12 seasons\, as well as being a founding member of Watauga Valley Fife and Drum Corps.  As a graduate of ETSU\, he holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice.  An Eagle Scout and Woods Counselor at Land of the Sky Wilderness School\, Taylor is passionate about the outdoors\, wilderness education and primitive skills\, and inspiring the public to connect with the natural world in meaningful ways.   As an avid musician\, Taylor has sung in many choirs\, local and national\, plays fiddle with friend Spencer Bolejack\, and leads a Christian rock band.
