October 23 - 25, Black Mountain Wildlife Habitat Steward Training: What a great weekend! North Carolina Wildlife Federation alongside our local chapters Swannanoa Valley Wild and ReWild AVL hosted a Wildlife Habitat Steward Training in Black Mountain with generous support from Givens Highland Farms. 25 participants spent the weekend engaged with experts in the field on a variety of topics as we learned about the interconnectedness of wildlife, habitat, and people. We took a closer look at local ecology and how to restore ecological function. We discovered the foundational nature of native plants and the abundance of opportunity right outside the door in our backyard and in our community spaces. We learned how to conduct site assessments and how to apply our knowledge by completing a habitat installation on the Highland Farms' campus. We transformed the 500 square foot space into bountiful habitat featuring nearly 200 native plants thanks to our friends at Carolina Native Nursery in Burnsville. We planted little bluestem, winterberry, sweetshrub, mountain mint, bee balm, pennsylvania sedge, and more in an effort to plant the seed for conservation in Western North Carolina.

September 24, Bees of NC
On a drizzly day, the NCWF Hawk and Wildlife Chapter welcomed Gabriela Garrison of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission to share insights into the remarkable diversity of North Carolina’s wild bees. Gabriela discussed the life cycles of different bee species and how our actions can influence their success. Participants were given nets and encouraged to observe bees up close, discovering an abundance of carpenter bees and several eastern bumble bees at Steven’s Creek Nature Preserve. The hands-on experience fostered a sense of joy, curiosity, and appreciation for North Carolina’s native wildlife.

August 28th, Moth Night: NCWF Charlotte Wildlife Stewards Chapter teamed up with the City of Charlotte Landscape Management to host Moth Night at Tuckaseegee Arboretum and Gardens in Charlotte. Over 20 insect enthusiasts showed up to connect with our night-flying pollinators and other nocturnal critters. A few enthusiastic youth even built a fairy house for wildlife. Thank you to naturalist Ken Kneidel and City Arborist Laurie Reid for their time and expertise.
