McLean Savanna Vistas

Recently acquired by The Nature Conservancy, the McLean Savanna has some beautiful Longleaf Pine Savanna areas mixed in with pocosin and pine-cypress swamps in Pender Co., NC. At this point, there is no public access.


One view of a small portion of the McLean tract from a fire tower.
