This is an inspiring story of how a critical wetland in Southeast Raleigh, which has languished under decades of abuse and neglect, is now on the road to recovery, through passionate community and civic action. Join NCWF’s South Wake Conservationists chapter for a presentation by Celia Lechtman, the Assistant Manager of the Walnut Creek Wetland Park in Southeast Raleigh. Celia’s presentation will relay the history of the 60 acre Walnut Creek Wetland Park, from unspoiled natural treasure to sewage outfall and dump, through the pride and passion of the Black neighborhoods that worked to bring it back to life, and up to some of our restoration projects, successes, and challenges as it convalesces.
By the way, SWC has recently established a partnership with Walnut Creek Wetland Park and will be holding periodic workdays to help restore this wetland, supporting native wildlife. We will have a workday on Sept. 7th as part of the the Autumn Big Sweep there.
Join us for a fun and informative evening on Thurs., Sept. 5th by registering below!
