Preserve Work & Learn days are opportunities to slow down; wander through areas seldom seen; see, feel, and hear nature surrounding you. Work with a small group led by experienced staff or volunteers who share their knowledge and passion for protecting our imperiled plant species, and see some of those species growing in their natural habitat.
Most Work & Learn days are limited to 15 participants to protect the land and to provide you with an opportunity to visit, learn, and photograph these treasures of North Carolina. There are no trails and no amenities of any sort on Plant Conservation Preserves. These are not recreational lands and Workdays are intended to share the special nature of the Preserves, to provide help with invasives removal or other tasks necessary to maintain healthy ecosystems, and to promote their continued conservation. There is no public access to Preserves without a Permit.
