January 8, Watauga River Planting: NCWF High Country Wild in partnership with MountainTrue planted 5,500 livestakes at Valle Crucis Community Park along the Watauga River and Dutch Creek with 2,600 of the plants made possible through the National Wildlife Federation's Trees for Wildlife Program. We planted a variety of species including silky willow, black willow, silky dogwood, and elderberry. Valle Crucis Community Park contains riparian forest, wetland, and meadow habitat which supports a mosaic of wildlife. The park is a staple in the community and a popular gathering place for locals to play music, share a picnic, flyfish, bird watch, and enjoy the solitude that only nature can provide. The park took a big hit during Hurricane Helene with trees uprooted and riverbanks left bare of vegetation. Planting these native trees is an effort to increase biodiversity, enhance wildlife habitat, reduce erosion, and ensure that generations to come can enjoy the natural beauty of Valle Crucis Community Park.
