The Friends of Lower Haw River State Natural Area will be holding its next invasive plant species workday with NC Division of Parks and Recreation biologists on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Invasive plant workdays typically involve identifying and removing non-native plants using clippers, pruners, saws, or any other non-motorized hand tool. Only park staff will be able to use motorized equipment, like chainsaws and brush saws for larger plants. Come learn about invasive plants and removal techniques.
Bring your own loppers or hand pruners, work gloves, insect repellent, and water. Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and sturdy closed-toe shoes.
Pre-registration is required for workdays. Please click the Register button to sign up with the Google Form.
