South Wake Conservationists

SWC is partners with Wake Audubon’s ongoing project to conserve and support the natural heritage of a unique nature park in Fuquay Varina, the Carroll Howard Johnson Environmental Education Park. The NC Natural Heritage Progam lists portions of this site as 7 out of 10 for natural diversity, which is exceptional for a suburban/urban location!

Last year we made a great start. After our efforts, when someone pulls into the park, they can see the creek from their parking spot, instead of a wall of privet and bradford pears! Not to mention the numerous fern, strawberry bushes and a multitude of other native plants we’ve freed up to grow.

Our teams cut or pull the invasives and haul them out by the parking lot. Fuquay Varina Public Works loads all this into large trailers and hauls it away as they are filled.  Last time, we filled two trailers, and there is plenty more to go! 

We suggest that folks wear long sleeved shirts and pants and bring gloves and water. Tools are provided, but feel free to bring any favorite personal tools as well.
