Overview
Pike County Pocosin consists of two acquisitions totaling 333 acres. The tract supports two unique plant communities: an uncommon upland scrub-hardwood/longleaf pine/reindeer moss vegetation type and “pocosin,” an unusual evergreen plant community occurring in deep ravines.

Forever Wild has partnered with Troy University, which owns 17 acres of pocosin habitat, in support of environmental education programs at the university.

In addition to opportunities to view rare flora, Pike County Pocosin offers visitors outdoor activities including include hunting, bird watching and other wildlife observation.
