Possumwood Acres makes it safe for animals to live and eat in peace along Parkertown Road and Doe Drive in Hubert. You may not realize that this is a very specific ecosystem that must be preserved for the semi-aquatic amphibians and reptiles that live in the ditches along the roads. We try and preserve these habitats through our ecosystem revival session.
Water, gloves, bags, and sunscreen will be provided. RSVP at 910-326-6432. This is an ideal opportunity for High School teens to earn their SAT community service hours with us! It also is a great way for military personnel/groups earn their volunteer service hours for LOA's.
