Help root out invasive species from Island Park in Bryson City 1-3 p.m. Wednesday, March 29. 

Volunteers will use hand tools to cut down invasive shrubs like Chinese privet and then treat the stumps to kill them. No experience is necessary, and both tools and training will be provided. 

Organized by MountainTrue and the Tuckaseegee River Alliance. Register in advance at mountaintrue.org/event and bring water. Rain date is April 5.
