1900 Hurdle Mills Road
Cedar Grove, North Carolina
Dawn to Dusk 
365 Days a Year 

On Sunday, November 20, 2022, Bluestem opened to the public. Every day now you, your friends and neighbors, dog walkers, birders, naturalists, seekers, artists, hikers and forest bathers, can visit and help care for Bluestem, from dawn to dusk.

If the gate is closed, you can park in front of it and walk around it into Bluestem.


Plan to stop by the barn to orient yourself with the map and informational materials. Grab a trail map before you start out. Take notice that some trails are fully marked while others are still under construction. We are making improvements to our trail maps so look for new ones in 2023!

​Spend a quiet moment beside the pond or in the natural sanctuary. Listen to the wind by the Pope Family Cemetery. Please respect family members attending to loved ones graves. Walk only on marked trails or on the grass pathways that circle every field. Watch for signs that designate our neighbors' property and please do not trespass on their land.

Leashed dogs are welcome. Please remove all trash.
