SUMMARY:Naked Creek Bradford Pear Invasive Species Removal
DESCRIPTION:This event is free and open to the public.\n.\nJoin us for a Bradford Pear removal workday at Naked Creek in the Mount Jefferson Natural Area. We will follow up this removal effort with a planting of native plant species along Naked Creek on November 8th.\n.\nBradford pear trees are not native to the United States. These trees are cultivars of the Callery pear\, which was brought to the U.S. from China in the early 1900s in an attempt to hybridize them and improve disease resistance of pear trees. By 1950\, the Bradford pear cultivar had been planted widely\, and other cultivars have been produced since. They are considered a highly invasive species – spreading rapidly and choking out native plant species. They provide little to no food for native insects\, birds\, or other wildlife\, harming local ecosystems by reducing biodiversity.\n.\n\nYou will receive the full event details and updates upon successfully submitting this registration form.\nYou must complete the registration section to secure your spot at the event.\n\n.\nPartners for Wildlife – High Country Wildlife\, NC State Parks\n.\nREGISTER HERE
