Private Public Partnership

There appears to be a successful private/public partnership emerging. It's using volunteer energy to eradicate Chinese Privet and Elaeagnus from the new Town park.

Giant piles of biomass are emerging as viewsheds are being cleared.

People from the Town of Pittsboro, Rewild Within, Grand Trees of Chatham, and the Tree Museum have been showing up on weekends, grabbing weed wrenches, shovels and pick axes to clear the site of invasive plants. Removing the understory shrubs will allow the black cherry, holly, dogwoods and other natives to gain ground.

Our next session will be this Saturday at 10:00 at the southern end of the Plant. Join us. No experience necessary. We provide the equipment, the training, and the weeds.

We are well on our way to releasing a giant black walnut tree, that has all but disappeared in an impenetrable woodland that was clear cut twenty years ago.
