Join the Conserving Carolina “Kudzu Warriors” as they continue the fight against Kudzu, a non-native and invasive vine, at the Conserving Carolina owned Norman Wilder Forest off of Hwy 176.

The Kudzu Warriors, named for their hard work eradicating Kudzu on Little Warrior Mountain, have been defending the Conserving Carolina nature preserve from Kudzu (and other exotic species) since 2011 and have made a tremendous impact on the property. Areas that were once a mat of Kudzu vines are now lush with native vegetation! But the fight is not over, and we need your help!

Join us Monday, September 25, from 9-11 a.m. at the Norman Wilder Forest parking area/trailhead off of Hwy 176, between Tryon and Saluda.

We will supply tools, but please bring water and a snack for yourself and dress appropriately and wear work gloves.

Call the southeast office (Polk County) of Conserving Carolina at 828-859-5060, or e-mail Pam Torlina at [email protected] for more information.
