SWC is assisting Raleigh Parks with the restoration of river cane along the banks of Walnut Creek, where it flows through the Walnut Creek Wetland Park. This will help endangered wildlife, control erosion, and improve water quality.  

Rivercane (genus Arundinaria), a native bamboo, is a woody grass native to floodplains of the southeastern US. Dense clusters of rivercane are referred to as “canebrakes.” Canebrakes are valuable components of marshland systems that help protect water quality and prevent erosion by stabilizing soils along the banks of waterways. It is also an important material for basket making and other traditional tribal arts. Rivercane now occupies only 2% of its former extent in the US!

We will primarily be removing invasive species, while protecting the river cane.  The Wetland Center will provide boots, gloves and equipment. Come help us in supporting this ecosystem and have good fellowship as well!
