Work has begun on the first phase of a birding trail in the Wellfields in
Saltville, Va.
The trail will be named the " Helen Barbrow Birding Trail", in memory of
Helen Barbrow who died unexpectedly on Christmas Eve. Helen had written the
original
grant for funds to finance the trail. She was an avid birder, the first one
to discover
what is now the heron rookery on the North Fork of the Holston River. She
also wrote the Saltville section in the Clinch Mountain " Discover the Wild
Side"
Virginia Birding and Wildlife trail. She also was an authority on the
wildflowers on both sides of the hills surrounding Saltville as each hill was
made
up of completely different types of soil. She also was an authority on the
digs that are held in Saltville unearthing
early signs of Mastodon's. It is very appropriate to honor her with this
trail.
A second phase of the trail will follow around what is known locally as Mill
Cliff coming out near Palmers Mill at a later time.
