The Oak Crest community in Chapel Hill has been actively restoring habitat by removing invasive plant species and allowing the native seed bank to restore the site naturally. The native seed bank has responded so well that the New Hope Bird Alliance awarded the site a Bird-Friendly Habitat Certification. Ongoing management is essential for this site’s success. We invite you to join us for a site tour, an overview of the restoration process, and a hands-on training session covering several methods for treating invasive Wisteria. Treatment of invasive Privet and Tree of Heaven will also be discussed. We’ll have some tools (hand pruners, loppers, daubers) and gloves to share, but feel free to bring your own if you have them. There is no physical address to the site, the posted address is across the street. The project leader will be there early. Look for a white truck.
