3rd Saturday - Bolin Creek Trail. Work is continuing on the Bolin Creek habitat restoration project. After a fairly small amount of work, a significant improvement is now visible along the Greenway. Almost all of the Chinese privet has been removed from the first target section, and we’ve put a dent in the bittersweet and wisteria as well. There may be an opportunity this winter to reintroduce some more desirable native species

This is a long-term project, and we need many more volunteers. It’s hard work, but very rewarding. The difference is visible immediately, and the effect is long lasting. After the initial pilot project is complete, other sections of the creek will be targeted. The plan is to include neighborhood groups from the various areas adjacent to the creek.

We meet the third Saturday of each month at the Greenway entrance on Bolinwood Drive, just off Hillsborough Street in Chapel Hill. Please contact Bill Bracey at { arbornet "at" mindspring "dot" com } or 942-9937 if you are interested in participating.
