About us
This group is for people that like to have fun and adventure in the great outdoors; hiking in the foothills and mountains, camping, funyaking on the French Broad, whitewater rafting on the Nolichucky, biking the Virginia Creeper, outdoor live music, backpacking, spelunking and more. The hikes I lead will be rated either "Moderate", "Difficult" or "Strenuous" and most are what I would call aerobic hiking, but with lots of short stops to appreciate what Mother Nature has to show us! I'm open to others leading easier hikes and making suggestions. An example of "Moderate" would be the Lake Norman State Park "Lake Shore Trail" with one rest/food stop in the middle and some short water breaks etc. I've had several Red Cross first aid courses over the years, including the outdoor trauma course. JOIN US FOR SOME FUN!

### About the event
Join NCWF’s Lake Norman Wildlife Chapter and Island Adopters for a morning of
native buttonbush planting and brown-headed nuthatch nest box installation on Lake Norman’s
islands!
The islands provide critical refuge for deer, fish, songbirds, raptors, and pollinators. Native
buttonbushes help reduce erosion and stabilize island shorelines while providing habitat and
food for waterfowl, pollinators, and other wildlife.
Volunteers will help plant hundreds of buttonbushes and install brown-headed nuthatch nest boxes across several islands. We will meet at Skippers Landing to load plants and materials before taking a short boat ride to the islands. All boats and tools will be provided. Pizza and
drinks will be provided at the end of the event.
This work directly supports the Island Habitat Program, a conservation initiative that enhances island habitats through litter removal, nest box installation, native planting, and public education about wildlife habitat stewardship.Jobs will include digging holes, staging plants, and putting plants in the ground. We will meet at Skipper's Landing. All boats and tools will be provided, but please bring water and gloves, and come dressed in layers. Waterproof boots that can get muddy are strongly recommended. Pizza and drinks will be provided to all volunteers at the end.
