This is a great time of year to see woodpeckers and sparrows. We’ll spend the morning exploring FENCE’s network of trails and should find plenty of these winter birds.
This program is free and open to the public. Please, dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes for walking, and bring along binoculars if you have them.
This event is made possible by the Kirby Endowment at the Polk County Community Foundation.

WORKSHOP ON CONTROLLING INVASIVE PLAN
-
Bittersweet, privet, kudzu and tree of heaven are all words you don't want to hear if you are a property owner in foothills of the Carolinas. A hands-on workshop teaching folks how to attack these noxious woody weeds. Plans include having the participants work on an overgrown space on the FENCE property.
As strange as it may sound many non-native woody plant species can be effectively controlled when attacked while dormant. At the very least one does not have to contend with yellow jackets, hornets or snakes, when working before bud break in late winter.
Retired horticulturist John Vining will be discussing how to identify the plants in winter and which plants are best suited for this dormant treatment.
