POSTPONED Due to the impending heavy rains, tomorrows invasive plant removal and native species plantings has been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 7. Location: Vance Street Park, Waynesville Time: 2:00 to 5:00 pm Cost: FREE Description: Invasive plants are a significant threat to forests, wildlife, and water quality. Invasive species strangle native species and form a dense understory that prevents other species from growing. They can also cause trees to fall and when the canopy is open, it opens up new habitat for invasives. Because wildlife is not adapted to exotic species, there is less food for both terrestrial and aquatic animals. Invasive often lack the deep, stabilizing root systems that help hold stream banks together and stop erosion. Come help remove Japanese knotweed, multiflora rose, oriental bittersweet, Chinese privet, and Japanese honeysuckle from the streambanks of Richland Creek at Vance Street Park. Bring a good pair of boots and gloves and prepared to get dirty. All tools and refreshments provided.
