Join NCWF South Wake Conservationists Chapter at Inwood Wildlife Garden for a hands-on volunteer day as we build our first-ever hibernaculum! A hibernaculum is a protective shelter or refuge that wildlife uses to survive the winter dormancy period. Typically constructed using natural materials such as rocks, logs, branches, and stones, these structures create protected spaces for reptiles, amphibians, insects, and small mammals during the colder months. We’ll have the materials needed for construction on hand.

Not into building a hibernaculum? We have plenty to do! There are lots of other ways to lend a hand at Inwood Wildlife Garden, including weeding the pollinator garden, mulching garden paths, planting aquatic plants around the wildlife pond, and helping with general garden maintenance. Feel free to BYOP: Bring Your Own Plant! Bring a native pollinator-friendly plant and add your own contribution to the Inwood Wildlife Garden.

Whether you want to learn something new, get your hands dirty, or simply spend some time outside helping local wildlife, we’d love to have you join us!
