Join NCWF Charlotte Wildlife Stewards Chapter and community volunteers to remove invasive species at Unsheltered Tortoise and Turtle, a local rescue and rehabilitation facility. Invasive plants are non-native introduced plants that do not support native wildlife. They are aggressive, outcompete wildlife-friendly plants, and take over natural areas. Removing invasive species is often the first step to enhancing and restoring habitat for wildlife.

Volunteers will discover how to identify invasive plants, including English ivy, Nandina, and Japanese honeysuckle, and practice removing them by hand and with tools. Stick around after the event for pizza and a campfire! Please wear long sleeves and long pants. CLOSE-TOED SHOES ARE REQUIRED. AGES 13+ PLEASE.
