ORGANIZATION: Conservation Trust for North Carolina
Please visit the new page to apply.
Have you ever heard of an invasive species? Plants and animals that have been brought to an area they don’t belong for a specific purpose or accidently introduced with the result in harming the native ecosystem of that area.
We would love your help reeling people in with trivia and leading activities so booth visitors can learn what invasive species are and how to differentiate them from native species! Volunteers will receive a free "No Wetlands, No Seafood" bumper sticker and the satisfaction of knowing they helped a great cause!More opportunities with Conservation Trust for North Carolina
