Blog and Special Notes

I would like to report that the NW Sandhills Chapter had its first meeting on January 11th with 12 people in attendance. Many items were discussed including membership recruitment and future activities for the Chapter. Those present at the meeting showed interest in affiliating ourselves with Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve. The staff at Weymouth Woods has agreed that this would be a good partnership as funding for projects has decreased. The preserve has started a native plant garden near the visitors center which the Chapter hopes to enhance and expand through plant rescues from sites slated for development. In addition, the Chapter will help control invasive species throughout the preserve. Those present at the meeting showed enthusiasm for these and other projects and hopefully this enthusiasm will spread to others!
