Overview
The Nature Conservancy in West Virginia invites you to join us for a guided public hike at the beautiful Hungry Beech Preserve in Roane County. This 124‑acre preserve is home to nearly 30 acres of exceptional cove hardwood and oak‑hickory forest, where massive American beech and white oak trees—some more than 13 feet around—anchor one of the state’s newest additions to the Old‑Growth Forest Network. With more than 80 species of spring wildflowers, sandstone outcrops and ridgetop meadows buzzing with pollinators, Hungry Beech offers an immersive nature experience for hikers of all ages. This special outing will also celebrate the completion of our new preserve signage project, designed to help visitors explore and connect more deeply with this remarkable landscape. Come walk with us and experience the quiet magic of West Virginia’s ancient forests.
This is an easy-to-moderate hike.
Registration for this event will open on 7/8.
We will be limiting the number of participants on this hike to 20. If your plans change, and you are no longer able to make it, please let us know so that we can open your spot to the next person in line. Please register by 8/8 so that we can plan accordingly.
