You don’t want to miss this fun community event - it is the biggest volunteer day in the Tryon Creek watershed! Volunteers will work at various project sites throughout the watershed and then gather together for a celebratory lunch. Projects will include native plant installation and invasive species removal.
Please come dressed to work outside - wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and weather-appropriate clothing (we will work rain or shine). Gloves, tools, and food will be provided. Each site will have a TCWC leader to help your group at your designated site.
This is a great event for groups! Are you a Boy Scout troop, church organization, school club, etc. looking for a service opportunity? We would love to have you participate - you can register your entire group on our online registration.
The event schedule is as follows:
9:00 - 9:30 am - Volunteer Check-In at St. Mark Presbyterian Church (Coffee & breakfast snacks provided)
9:30am - 12:30pm - Welcome & announcements, carpool/walk to project sites with group, work at designated project site
12:30-1:30pm - Lunch and post-work celebration held at St. Mark Presbyterian Church
Pre-registration is required if you'd like to enjoy our post-work lunch! Visit tryoncreek.org/wwe to reserve your spot!

Mission Statement
The Tryon Creek Watershed Council restores, protects and enhances the ecological health and function of our unique urban watershed.
Description
The majority of TCWC projects involve restoration of riparian native vegetation on streambanks. We focus these projects on private properties along key wildlife corridors, neighboring green-spaces, and adjacent to existing restoration sites. We also fix fish passage barriers by contracting replacement with a bridge (such as the case with the Stone Bridge Project on Nettle Creek) or working as an advocate (in the case of Boones Ferry Culvert and the Highway 43 Culvert projects). As a watershed council, another key role that we fill is coordination of partnerships, watershed planning, and monitoring.
