Join the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for a cleanup at Bowditch Bottoms in Yancey County. Bowditch Bottoms contains mixed hardwood forest, cleared agricultural fields, valuable wetland habitat within the South Toe River Watershed, and a riparian area that buffers over a half mile of Ayles Creek.

We will focus our cleanup effort on the riparian area buffering the creek where there is a large accumulation of trash and debris following Hurricane Helene. The significant length of natural stream and several wetland areas makes this property stand out as an opportunity for high impact restoration projects that will directly benefit wildlife and multiple habitat types. Join us as we kick things off with a cleanup!
