Next Saturday, March 14, local envir0-nonprofit MountainTrue will lead an invasive-species cleanup at Richmond Hill Park. Here’s the details:
- Who: Volunteer work day with MountainTrue
- What: Non-Native Invasive Plant Control
- Where: Richmond Hill Park, Asheville, NC
- When: 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, March 14 – (Rain Date: Sunday, March 15)
- Why: To restore native plant communities by controlling non-native invasive plants along a major drainage area that includes special wild plants and a mountain bike trail within Richmond Hill Park
We’ll give instruction on how to identify and control non-native invasive plants of concern in the Park, then we’ll go after these plants!
MountainTrue will provide all gloves and equipment needed for the event.
Volunteers are asked to bring snacks, water, rain jacket and appropriate layers for March weather. Long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and old shoes or hiking boots (no open shoes or sandals) are required, even if it’s a warm day.
