eco Bit

Want to help protect Western North Carolina's National Forest, the Appalachian Trail and the French Broad River from invasive exotic plants that are threatening the biodiversity of our special natural resources?

Learn the impacts of invasive exotic plants, how to control them in your own yards, plant identification as well as have some FUN with a diverse group of volunteers. We will be removing invasive exotics along the French Broad River by pulling, cutting or chain sawing (for those who are certified) in the Hot Springs area.
