Friends of Lower Haw River (FLOHA) will be holding invasive plant removal workdays this Spring. Volunteers work with State Parks biologists to remove invasive plants from the Lower Haw River State Natural Area.
Invasive plant workdays typically involve identifying and removing non-native plants using clippers, pruners, saws, and other non-motorized hand tools. Learn about invasive plants and removal techniques. Bring your own loppers or hand pruners, work gloves, insect repellent, and water. Long pants, long sleeve shirt, and closed toe shoes are recommended.
WHO: Volunteers 18 and older. Youth volunteers 12 to 17 can participate as well if accompanied by an adult.
WHERE: Lower Haw River State Natural Area in Chatham County (directions below)
WHEN: April 27, 2024 from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm (or whenever you need to leave)
Meet in Bynum at the lower parking lot off of Bynum Church Road. The Bynum Mill Access parking lot is located at the Haw River between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro. It is on the north side of the river, the Chapel Hill side. From US 15-501, turn onto Durham-Eubanks Road (if coming from Chapel Hill it will be a left turn before crossing the Haw River or if coming from Pittsboro it will be a right turn after crossing the Haw River). Follow Durham-Eubanks Road to the stop sign. At the stop sign, cross over Bynum Road and continue uphill on Bynum Church Road. After passing the church, continue downhill on Bynum Church Road and the large State Parks parking lot will be on the right.
