Join Roan Mountain State Park and Patchwork Meadows of Black Mountain, NC for a volunteer workday focused on removing invasive Lespedeza from our native pollinator gardens located along TN Highway 143 near Picnic Shelter 1.
Volunteers will help protect and restore these important habitats by identifying and pulling invasive Lespedeza plants that compete with native wildflowers and grasses. Removing these invasive species helps ensure our pollinator gardens continue to provide valuable food and shelter for bees, butterflies, birds, and other wildlife.
The park will provide work gloves, water, and snacks for all participants. Volunteer shifts are limited to 10 people and last approximately 3 hours.
This is a great opportunity to work alongside the professional landscaping team from Patchwork Meadows and learn more about invasive plant management, native gardening, and habitat restoration. Whether you're new to native plants or an experienced gardener, you'll gain hands-on knowledge while making meaningful contributions to local conservation efforts.
