SUMMARY:Volunteer Workday with Forest Restoration Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Join Hemlock Restoration Initiative on Tuesday\, October 28th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as we lend a hand to our partners at the Forest Restoration Alliance (FRA). Instead of chemically treating hemlock trees\, volunteers will be combating hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) by supporting the FRA’s work at their research facility in Waynesville\, where they are breeding HWA-resistant hemlock trees. \nVolunteers will complete tasks in FRA’s greenhouse and nursery to help with their selective breeding program. Volunteers will also get a tour of the facility by researcher Ben Smith and learn about their efforts to restore hemlocks. This is a great opportunity to help hemlocks without handling insecticide. \nRegistration is required. Fill out the form linked on our event webpage by Thursday\, October 23rd to register. Please contact Ayla Busch at volunteer@savehemlocksnc.org or 828-252-4783 with any questions. These volunteer days fill up quickly\, so it’s a good idea to sign up soon to ensure your spot! \nMore information about the meeting location and what to bring will be provided after registering. \nNote: While we love kids\, please contact us before registering anyone under 18 so we can determine if our volunteer activities will be age-appropriate.
