Can you help us?...
Our goal is to raise $12,000 to keep Olivia Dannemiller in her position as Volunteer Coordinator for another year. She has been developing partnerships with other organizations to assist with workdays on preserves—invasives and trash removal as well as other land and plant management activities guided by the NC Plant Conservation Program.
She is providing educational experiences for the general public, enlightening them about the plight of our 419 imperiled plant species.
And she is busy searching for grants to help fund her position.
She has been an invaluable resource as we continue our mission to conserve imperiled species for future generations.

The Welch Volunteer Fund was established by David Welch’s mother, who wished to support FoPC/NCPCP after the death of her son. Dr. Welch has continued to support the fund, but it is close to being depleted.

2020 PRESERVE Work & Learn days
Kalmia carolina. Carolina laurel or sheepkill in Cedar Mountain Bog.
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.
