Mud Creek Non-native Invasive Species Removal Volunteer Workday

Mud Creek Campsite on the French Broad River

We will be promoting the growth of native species by removing non-native invasive plants, specifically Chinese privet, along a French Broad River Paddle Trail access campsite managed by MountainTrue. We will remove these plants through hand pulling or cutting them at their base and applying a small amount of herbicide to the cut surface.
Volunteers must be able to walk moderate distances across rough terrain. All tools and gloves will be provided. Plant ID and removal techniques will be taught on-site. You will get dirty, so make sure to wear appropriate clothing.
