Native Plants, Thriving Wildlife: Join Our Rain Garden Project! (Gatesville)

November 21, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join NCWF Wildlife Habitat Stewards of Northeastern NC Chapter as we work together to establish a new native plant rain garden alongside the Coleman Trail. This exciting project will feature more than twenty plant species native to beautiful northeastern NC, creating a demonstration garden that showcases how native plants can transform wet or poorly drained areas into thriving wildlife habitat. Participants will also gain ideas and inspiration for managing water-prone areas in their own landscapes.

Native plant rain gardens are designed to capture and filter stormwater, allowing it to slowly soak into the ground rather than running off into nearby waterways. The deep roots of native plants help reduce erosion, improve water quality, and create valuable habitat for wildlife throughout the year. As the garden matures, it will provide nectar, berries, seeds, shelter, and nesting opportunities for pollinators, birds, and other native species.

Join us for a rewarding morning of conservation, learning, and hands-on stewardship as we help create a beautiful new resource for both wildlife and park visitors.
