The New River Conservancy and the Town of Boone will be hosting a volunteer planting day at Hardin Creek on March 1, 2025 (back up date of March 8). Volunteers will meet at Watauga High School at 10:00 am (please park in the parking lot in front of the school) and walk down to the planting site (there will be signs).
We please ask all volunteers to register for this event. Volunteers will need to bring sturdy boots, water, snacks, and work gloves. Lunch will be provided during the event.
This is part of the ongoing restoration of Hardin Creek. This project seeks to restore 1,820 linear feet and ~ 4 acres of floodplain along Hardin Creek where it flows into the South Fork New River in Boone, NC. For more info: https://newriverconservancy.org/restore/
