SUMMARY:Plant This\, Not That: Using Native Plants to Help with Erosion Control
DESCRIPTION:Stop the wash-away and start a sanctuary! Join us for an essential workshop on Soil Stabilization and Native Planting\, where we explore how to turn eroding landscapes into thriving ecosystems. Whether you’re dealing with a steep backyard slope or a patchy garden bed\, the secret to a stable landscape lies just beneath the surface. Space is limited – registration is required. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nIn this hands-on session\, we will cover: \n\n\nEngineering with Roots: How deep-rooted native plants act as “biological rebar” to hold soil in place better than any retaining wall. \n\n\nThe Erosion Solution: Techniques for slowing down rainwater runoff to prevent nutrient loss and soil depletion. \n\n\nPollinator Partnerships: Selecting specific North Carolina native species that stabilize the earth while providing vital nectar and habitat for bees\, butterflies\, and birds. \n\n\nWhy Native Plants?\nUnlike common turf grass\, which has shallow roots\, native perennials and shrubs can reach depths of several feet. This creates a complex underground network that filters water and anchors the ground during heavy storms. \n\nWho Should Attend?\n\n\nHomeowners struggling with runoff or muddy yards. \n\n\nGardeners looking to support local biodiversity. \n\n\nCommunity members interested in sustainable land management. \n\n\nTake home a native seed packet and a custom planting guide to get started on your own property! \nLimit 1 plant per household\, while supplies last\, must register. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Muddy Creek Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Help us keep our waterways pristine! Join us for a community cleanup at Muddy Creek Park as we work to remove litter and debris from the creek and surrounding trails. Whether you want to get your feet wet or stay on solid ground\, there is a job for everyone! \n\n\nThe Deep Dive: If you have waders\, bring them along! We’ll be heading into the creek to clear out trapped debris. \n\n\nThe Trail Team: No waders? No problem! We need plenty of hands to patrol the trails and bank areas to keep the park beautiful for hikers and local wildlife. \n\n\nAll supplies provided! We will have gloves\, trash bags\, and pickers ready for you. Just bring yourself\, some water\, and a passion for the environment. \nMeet in the parking lot off Robinhood Rd\, located at 4600 Robinhood Rd. Let us know you’re coming by registering here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
