Invasive Plant Walk and Talk in Hendersonville, NC 7/13/22
This walk will begin at Patton Park. The slow amble will feature stops along the way to look at a recent live-staking project and part of a streambank restoration in Patton Park. Gale will stop at a non-native invasive plant removal site, to see the progress, and walk the newly reinforced boardwalk into the swamp, a favorite spot for birdwatching. A short distance away, at the red kiosk on the greenway, the group will stop to admire the new native plant garden, established in the memory of Wes Burlingame. Registration is required.

High Country Live Staking Workday 12/09/22
The Valle Crucis Community Park 2892 Broadstone Road, Valle Crucis, NC, United StatesLivestaking is the process of planting live cuttings of dormant trees in the riparian buffer zone along the stream bank which helps filter stormwater runoff, protect vital aquatic habitat, and prevent soil erosion and sediment pollution. As these planted stakes grow into trees, they stabilize the sides of the rivers and creeks where we plant them and reduce the overall amount of sediment and toxins getting into the river. Come plant with us at one of our live staking work days from December through March!
