weed day at beaver lake sanctuary



Asheville-area folks concerned about bird habitat, please mark your calendars -- Saturday, Oct. 25 -- and plan to come help remove exotic/invasive plants at Beaver Lake Bird Sanctuary in north Asheville. We'll work from 9 am to noon and from 1 to 3 pm. Refreshments provided, lunch on your own if you're working all day.

Bring loppers, weeders, shovels, spades and grub hoes/mattocks (putting some i.d. on your tools is a good idea). Because of poison ivy, long pants, long sleeves and work gloves are a good idea.

The volunteer work you put in will help Elisha Mitchell Audubon match a grant from the Fish and Wildlife Foundation to a coalition of Asheville groups that calls itself the Asheville Weed Team. The grant will fund a number of projects in the Asheville area. We'll provide additional information about weeding ops at BLBS at the work day.

Hope to see you Oct. 25. It would help if you let me know you plan to come.
