Help manage habitat for the benefit of birds and wildlife!
Haywood County, NC
The event is free and open to the public.
Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy’s Stevens Creek Preserve is situated on the eastern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, near the Cataloochee Valley. The Steven’s Creek property serves as an important wildlife corridor for the movement of numerous species headed north and south between Cataloochee and I-40, as well as important habitat for the growing elk population. In collaboration with partners in the landscape, we manage early successional habitat here to benefit species like elk, deer, black bear, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, and migratory birds.
Join NC Wildlife Federation’s Smoky Mountains Wilderness Watch Chapter alongside Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for a habitat workday at Stevens Creek. We will focus the workday on managing open areas by removing tulip poplar saplings to encourage a wider variety of plant species and improve foraging habitat for elk and other wildlife.
