Work & Learn Days
...work, walk, listen, learn...
|
The Friends of Plant Conservation with the cooperation and assistance of the NC Plant Conservation Program, schedule Work & Learn opportunities at PCP Preserves across the state. When our work is completed, we will have an opportunity to learn more about the site and visit some of the sensitive areas.
Due to the fragile nature of these sites, space will be limited to 15 participants (unless otherwise noted) and registration is required. There are no trails, no facilities, and no water. Often, these are remote sites, so you are asked to bring plenty of water, lunch, and snacks with you. Plant and seed collecting is strictly forbidden on Plant Conservation Preserves. We ask that you leave your pets at home. |
