Community Invasive Plant Workday on Jackson County Greenway in Cullowhee, NC 11/10
November 10, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
MountainTrue, in partnership with the WCU Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning (CESL) and the Mainspring Conservation Trust, is hosting a community volunteer workday to control non-native invasive plants and restore native habitat at the Jackson County Greenway. We will primarily be pulling up roots and using hand tools to remove invasive shrubs like Chinese privet and then treat the stumps.
No prior experience is necessary; we will provide tools and training. Please register in advance so that we will have enough tools, gloves, etc. We have large and small tasks available, so you don’t have to be able to do strenuous physical labor to participate. Please, no pets.
Please bring:
- Closed-toed shoes required
- Long pants
- Long-sleeved shirts recommended
- Water and snacks
Let’s work together to improve the wildlife habitat and natural beauty of the Greenway! Contact western region program associate Eve Davis with any questions (wro-wq-habitat@mountaintrue.org).
The rain day for this event will be held on Friday, 11/17. Please mark your calendar.
