Non-Native Invasive Plant Removal

MountainTrue and the City of Hendersonville Tree Board and Environmental Sustainability Board present our Non-Native Invasive Plant Removal on Tuesday, June 15th from 9 AM - 11 AM.

After you arrive we will provide a brief training on identifying target invasive plants and control methods (manual and herbicide application). From there we will walk to a section of the Oklawaha Greenway near the wetland forest, and remove three invasive species to restore native wetland habitat.

Rhythm and Brews Waste Station Volunteers Needed!

Join the Rhythm and Brews event on July 15th and volunteer with MountainTrue's Recycling Team to educate participants and monitor the waste station! There are two shifts available the first shift runs from 5:30p -7:30p while the second shift runs from 7:30p-9:30p. For this event we need 4 people for the first shift and 4 people for the second, so 8 volunteers total.

Volunteers will receive a Rhythm and Brews T-shirt, a water bottle, a koozie, and a drink voucher for the event! We will see you there!

MountainTrue University: Managing Nonnative invasive plants

MountainTrue Public Lands Director Bob Gale and Western Regional Office program coordinator Tony Ward will be discussing management tools to control common NNIP species, including techniques for control, best seasons for treatment, and more in-depth discussion about herbicides. They will also go over active ingredients and commonly used products and how to apply them correctly without environmental harm. There will be less focus on the identification of invasive species, and more on control and proper management to avoid NNIP infestations.
