Hendersonville Pollinator Week Nature Walk

Lewis Creek Nature Preserve is an 8-acre conservation property protected and managed by the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy. Our resident ecologist Bob Gale will lead a leisurely hike along the trail, interpreting the plant life, wildflowers, and value of pollinators on this property. The visit includes a boardwalk which overlooks an example of the remaining rare Southern Appalachian Bog ecosystems. Bob and MountainTrue have special expertise in managing these bogs and in addressing their threats, including non-native invasive plants. Join us and celebrate the important work of pollinators in our area! This event is part of Hendersonville Bee City’s Pollinator Week.
