Grandfather Mountain Habitats Restored


In order to keep the animals and park visitors safe, habitat enclosures must be properly maintained. This summer Dwight Holland, former Director of the North Carolina Zoo, returned to Grandfather Mountain once again to perform a few maintenance and beautification projects on the wildlife exhibits. Holland has become an expert of sorts at making habitats look like they would in the wild. He is especially crafty when it comes to making artificial rocks and most people don't know which rocks are fake and which ones are real, making the habitats look very natural. The primary reason for the upgrades on the Mountain is to ensure safety while maintaining the beauty of the surroundings.
