Raleigh project to remove invasive plants
A Raleigh environmental service project will tackle some unwelcome invaders later this month.
The staff at River Cane Wetland Park will be rolling up their sleeves for an activity that will remove introduced species such as autumn olive and Chinese privet. This is part of a revamp that has been planned for the site, and all help will be appreciated.
The organizers of the activity will provide handsaws, loppers, and other tools to the attendees, and it is limited to those age 18 and up. They will be taught which plants to remove as well as why this is important, and they may be asked to sign a release form. Hiking boots or closed-toed shoes are required, and everyone is asked to bring their own water. The project has been planned by Rachel Van Noordt, who can be reached at 919-996-4810.
Many people would like to get involved in environmental advocacy, but might be unsure how to get started. Taking part in a hands-on service project may provide a way to do so, and a poster printing company can help get the word out to the public about these events.
This session, which will give River Came Wetland Park some care, will take place on Thursday, January 23. Everyone who registers is asked to arrive by no later than 12:00 pm.
