Join Park Ranger Phil Hylen and Roan Mountain State Park for a volunteer work day removing non-native Oriental Bittersweet vine from our new park property. Volunteers will meet at the Park Visitor Center at 9:00AM on Thursday, August 25th with an end time of 11:30 AM. Volunteers will help to eradicate a small patch of this vine by manually pulling it out of trees and uprooting the vine. The good news is there is only one known small patch and this plant can be completely removed in a single day.
Volunteers will be provided with gloves and necessary tools. Guests are asked to bring their own water and snacks. Good hiking shoes and rain gear are recommended. The worksite is located a quarter of a mile from the new property gate, so expect a 0.5 mile round trip hike. Follow the link to register for this opportunity.
