Supporting Native Species at Home – Workshop

Burton Street Community Center 134 Burton Street, Asheville, NC

Have you been wondering if Butterfly Bush is really invasive?  If you can anything to help the monarchs?  If the English Ivy on your neighbor's fence might become a problem in your yard?  Yes, yes, and yes are the short answers.  To learn more, join us for a special presentation by MountainTrue ecologist Bob Gale.  He worked as a landscaper for 20 years before joining the fight against non-native invasive species in Western North Carolina.  We will discuss some common landscaping plants that are actually invasive, what you can do about them, and what native plants can replace them and support the local environment and pollinators in your own yard.  Come with questions or just to learn!

Richmond Hill Invasive Species Removal Workday

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

We’ll provide all gloves, equipment and necessary instructions. Please bring snacks, water and a rain jacket and wear long pants, long sleeve shirt and closed toe shoes (no open shoes or sandals allowed for safety).
