Volunteer Workday at Main Street Nature Park Rescheduled for March 22
Since this volunteer workday was rained out last Saturday, March 15, it will now take place on Saturday, March 22, beginning at 10 a.m. All other details remain the same:
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 at 10 a.m.. 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.
