In eastern NC there are two species of cypress trees (Taxodium distichum and T. ascendens) that are a commonly found along the edges of the Albemarle and Pamlico sounds, and throughout the beautiful peninsula that separates them. Cypress is the iconic tree that most people think of while exploring the southeastern United States, especially in the freshwater wetlands before reaching the salty coast.
This project, Sentinels of the Sounds, acts as a home/depository for any and all photographs of cypress taken by from any "citizen scientists" passing through eastern NC, or living on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula. We have also installed some stations so we can follow the same sites over time. Collectively, we can better understand how the shores, and wetlands throughout the region are changing by watching how these trees are responding. Please join us in observing these marvelous trees. Take photographs to document what you seen, and sharing it with the world!
