Choose from 21 species of native trees and shrubs, ranging from large shade trees, native ornamentals, pollinator species, and those particularly beneficial to wildlife. **Your order must be picked up in Murphy, NC on Thursday, November 21st between 3 and 6 pm unless, due to exceptional circumstances, other arrangements are made PRIOR to placing the order.**

Invasive Plant Workday at Pinnacle Park in Sylva, NC Fall Series 2024
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. Please register in advance so that we will have enough tools, gloves, etc.
