Join us on Saturday, May 31 and learn more about the geography/geology of the Catawba Valley, stream resiliency, riparian buffer programs, stream monitoring and carbon credits. Come for as much of the program as you are able! A light lunch will be provided.
If you are approaching McDonalds Mill from the direction of Catawba, do not attempt the left turn into the drive. It is a blind curve and the drive is at a bad angle. Turn around at McDonalds Mill church a short distance ahead.
RSVP is not required, but would be helpful for planning purposes.
We hope to see you there!
Reminder – Saturday, May 31!
