Volunteer Workday at Main Street Nature Park March 15
A Volunteer Workday will be held at Main Street Nature Park beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 15. The goal is to save the great white oak which has overlooked the town for centuries but is now in competition for rainfall from invasive exotic plants and young saplings.
Volunteers will help cut and pull the English Ivy from the old tree and clear its root zone of the heavy undergrowth, giving it a better chance at another 100 years. Volunteers should meet in the lower Town Hall parking lot. Wear jeans and sensible shoes, and bring work gloves, your favorite pruners, and a bottle of water. Participants automatically become members of the Weaverville Weed Team and will receive a commemorative color group photo with the spruced up tree if name and address are provided.
This community activity is sponsored by the Weaverville Tree Board, the Weaverville Garden Club, the Weaverville Weed Team, and Quality Forward. In case of rain, the workday will be held one week later, on Saturday, March 22.
