NCWF/SAHC Volunteer Work Day at Bowditch Bottoms

Join the North Carolina Wildlife Federation and the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for a cleanup and invasive species removal at Bowditch Bottoms in Yancey County.

Sign up at https://ncwf.org/event/bowditch-bottoms-invasive-removal-burnsville/

Bowditch Bottoms contains mixed hardwood forest, cleared agricultural fields, valuable wetland habitat within the South Toe River Watershed, and a riparian area that buffers over a half mile of Ayles Creek.

Our invasive species removal effort will focus on Japanese knotweed. The significant length of natural stream and several wetland areas makes this property stand out as an opportunity for restoration projects (clean ups, invasive species removal, revegetation with native plants) that will directly benefit wildlife and multiple habitat types. Join us for an invasive species removal!
