Invasive Plant Control on the Oklwaha Greenway

Patton Park 1730 Asheville Highway, Hendersonville , NC, United States

Come out on Tuesday, October 26th for an Invasive Plant Control Event on the Oklawaha Greenway. At the start of this event, you will receive a brief training on identifying target invasive plants and control methods (manual and herbicide application). After being trained we will walk to a section of the Oklawaha Greenway near the wetland forest and remove invasive species to help restore the native wetland habitat.

Oklawaha Greenway Invasive Removal Workday

Patton Park 1730 Asheville Highway, Hendersonville , NC, United States

MountainTrue is partnering with the Friends of the Oklawaha Greenway to remove invasive species from the Greenway. Invasive species often grow best along the edges of forests, making the greenway a great place to start tackling our invasive species problem. We need all the help we can get! All neccessary equipment will be provided, but please bring your own water and snacks. Close-toed shoes are required and long-sleeves/pants are strongly recommended.
