Invasive Plant Removal Workday – Haw River, Pittsboro, Mar 17th
Join Friends of Lower Haw invasive plant removal workday with State Parks biologists Tuesday Mar 17. Volunteers do not have to stay the entire time, even though the biologists and their crew will be working until 3:00 pm.
Date: March 17, 2026
Time: 9:30 am to 3:00 pm (or whenever you need to leave)
Location: Haw River Access at 4551 US Hwy 15-501 N, Pittsboro
Register: No registration needed but you need to watch the video below if you want to paint with herbicide.
Directions: Meet in the large parking lot on US 15-501 at the Haw River between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro. If headed south on US 15-501 from Chapel Hill, the parking lot is on the right before crossing the Haw River. If headed north on US 15-501 from Pittsboro, make a U-turn after crossing the Haw River, then head south on US 15-501 and the parking lot will be a short distance on the right.
Meet in the parking lot at 9:30 am and stay however long you want to help. We will be working in the Pegg Tract area of the Lower Haw River State Natural Area, located upstream of the Bynum Dam by US Hwy 15-501. Invasive plant workdays 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. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt, and closed toe shoes. There are no restroom facilities at this location. Youth volunteers ages 12 to 17 are welcome to participate if accompanied by an adult.
Based on new regulations, volunteers who may be interested in applying herbicide are now required to watch the new NCDA required training video (34 minutes) for non-licensed pesticide applicators before attending the workday. Link to 34-minute video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsjgHmolqgE. If you are not interested in applying herbicide, then you are not required to watch the training video in order to volunteer for the workday.
THANK YOU for your ongoing support!
