March 7, New River State Park Planting: High Country Wild in partnership with New River Conservancy, New River State Park, and Keep Ashe Beautiful hosted a workday along a tributary feeding into the New River. Over 20 volunteers planted hundreds of livestakes along with bareroot and potted trees. Species included elderberry, silky willow, silky dogwood, sycamore, red maple, beech, hemlock, white oak, and more! These native species will help shade the water, improve water quality, stabilize the soil, and provide habitat for the wildlife that call New River State Park home. It was a warm and fun day and all the volunteers were treated to a hot dog lunch

February 13, Owl-entines Day: It was the night before Valentine's Day and at Burnt Mill Creek, not a single owl hoo-cooks-for-you’d, not even a squeak. NCWF and Cape Fear Audubon went for a sunset owl prowl, checking owl boxes, finding feathers, and scouring the branches for the owls’ stealthy shadows. Along the way, there were Northern cardinals, yellow-rumped warblers, boat-tailed grackles, red-winged blackbirds, American robins, white-throated sparrows, ruby-crowned kinglets, tufted titmice, Carolina chickadees, American crows, a great blue heron, and an anhinga. As participants shuffled back to their cars in the dim light of dusk, a barred owl watched stoically from a bald cypress.
