Join Swannanoa Valley WILD! Chapter of NCWF for a wildlife garden workday at Lake Tomahawk. We've already done a lot of work at the garden removing invasive plants and prepping the area for native plants in the future. And there is still a lot of work to do!

The baby hawks are SO wanting to fly! They will be taking to the skies before you know it!

There is so much wonder and joy when you spend time with young people!
I had the great pleasure of joining John with Swannanoa Valley Wild and Cassie from the Friends of the WNC Nature Center at the Swannanoa Library this weekend as they introduced some bright and cheerful young people to a few live reptile guests. Afterwards they helped to tend the library's new pollinator garden and showed us all how magical the world is when seen through the eyes of a child.

Thanks to SV Wild for letting me a part of this day!
