Calling all teens! Join NCWF Tri-County Conservationists Chapter and RewildNC for an invasive removal and venturing crew recruiting event. The Tri-County Conservationists are launching a new program to engage conservation-minded youth ages 14-20 in partnership with Scouting America. Interested youth will come together to plan conservation events, like invasive removals, under the name Venturing Crew3. This is their first event! Volunteers will help save trees by removing invasive Chinese wisteria. This event is open to all ages, but we would love to see the next generation of conservationists turn out in full force!
