Early-on view of the PJCBG property. The weedy, white-flowered multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora) is evident everywhere in thickets up to 10 feet high!

PJCBG site before grading -- A wet savannah-like enclave, with red maple (Acer rubrum) seedlings, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), etc.

An eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) tree, circa 40 feet tall, with a young scrub pine (Pinus virginiana) in front, before removal for grading. Wood from removed trees was harvested and milled.

Typical western Piedmont trees -- eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), scrub pine (Pinus virginiana), willow oak (Quercus phellos), red maple (Acer rubrum), and swamp willow (Salix nigra)

The 'Lost World' landscape of the PJCBG property before development. A mixture of common native trees and a number of non-native weedy species.

View along the front sidewalk of the PJCBG property along South Main Street in Kernersville. Tree-of-heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and other undesirable plants crowding the sidewalk edge.

View looking back toward South Main Street with Ailanthus (tree-of-heaven) saplings.

Nothing but overgrown ruderal vegetation here, ready and waiting for the brush mower.

View through the 'kudzu landscape.'
