Barton Creek Greenway Native Meadow

Categories: News

Looking for a way to get outside and volunteer? Come join us October 9 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Barton Creek Greenway Native Meadow!

This community native plant project is a partnership between the UNC Charlotte Botanical Gardens (design, plant acquisition and coordination), the University City Partners (funding, coordination and leadership), and the North Carolina Native Plant Society – Southern Piedmont Chapter (installation).

This volunteer opportunity is for adults and teens (accompanied by a legal adult guardian only). Bring your own personal gloves, small shovel, trowel, kneeling pads, and wear comfortable gardening attire. Plan to park in one of the large parking lots at Shoppes at University Place.

Please note- All participants must sign a release with Mecklenburg County to assist. We are also currently requiring in-person volunteers to be fully vaccinated and complete a vaccination attestation form. 

Can’t make it this time? We’ll have more opportunities like this coming up, so check back for similar projects in the future along the Greenway here!
