Invasive Plant Removal Workday at Richmond Hill in Asheville, NC

Richmond Hill Park 300 Richmond Hill Dr, Asheville, NC, United States

Richmond Hill Park is Asheville's largest forested park and hosts miles of trails. Despite its suburban location, Richmond Hill has a diversity of native plants that are being choked out by non-native invasives. Participants will receive training in plant identification and in invasive species control methods. Join MountainTrue Biologist Josh Kelly to remove non-native invasive plants and help the native forest thrive.

Join MountainTrue Biologist Josh Kelly on a scenic and meaningful workday and celebrate our native flora and fauna along the way. This outing includes a strenuous 4 mile hike and the ability to pull garlic mustard.

Join MountainTrue and partners from Sierra Club, Enviro Action Committee and Plastic Free WNC to clean up Smith Mill Creek.

MountainTrue, in partnership with the Mainspring Conservation Trust and the Pinnacle Park Foundation, is hosting a community volunteer workday to restore native habitat at Pinnacle Park in Sylva. While we had planned to tackle nonnative invasive plants, if cleanup is needed from the storm, we'll work on that first. No prior experience is necessary; we will provide tools and training.
