About the event

Want to learn about common invasive species in the state of North Carolina? Join a park naturalist and study what makes these species "invasive," how they arrived in our area, and how to identify and treat a variety of different invasives. Please bring a water bottle and closed-toed shoes, as this program will involve some walking outdoors. For ages 10 & up. Registration is required. Meet at the Cardinal Shelter, the first shelter on your right near the upper parking lot. FREE.
