Invasive Plant Removal – James Boyce Park

To attend this event, please register through the Mecklenburg County Parks & Rec volunteer portal.

As a follow-up to our Habitat Restoration Walk on Oct 21st, we will be participating in an invasive plant removal at James Boyce Park, allowing more space for native plants to establish and thrive!

“Project Captain” Bruce Chapman leads Volunteers in caring for James Boyce Park and restoring natural habitat by removing invasive plants! We will cut and/or pull up invasive English ivy, privet and autumn olive, giving native plants a better home to grow!
