Haywood Community College (HCC) is hosting a free family-friendly Halloween event from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, on campus. This event, coordinated by HCC’s Environmental Leadership Club and other student clubs, will bring partners together to showcase how wildlife plays a crucial role in our local ecosystems and how we can better care for them by sustaining habitat components that they need.
The event will start with a special presentation in the Charles M. Beall Auditorium with a naturalist and animals from Balsam Mountain Trust. Animal ambassadors showcased by the preserve may include an owl, Virginia opossum, snakes, and other creepy critters.
