Eno Climate Champions 4.0: Prairie Plantings (March Session)

In this session, participants will spend the first portion observing and learning about the Piedmont Prairie planting process with our Stewardship Manager. We will then work together to install an informational kiosk that participants will fill with their own Piedmont Prairie informational displays in the final session in April (date TBD). You do not need to have attended previous sessions to attend this session.

Recommended ages 12-17 years old. Snacks provided!

Overview of program: Our annual teen Eno Climate Champions program is back with a new twist! Local teens are invited to join the Eno River Association for a FREE four-session series focusing on the role of Piedmont prairie restoration in a changing climate. During these sessions, students will learn about the history and current status of Piedmont prairies, the benefits of these ecosystems, and how they can be reintroduced in the area.

Directions and accessibility info: The third session will take place at the Confluence Natural Area in Hillsborough. The address is 4214 Highland Farm Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278. We will meet under the pavilion located at the end of the gravel road and adjacent to the gravel parking lot (you can't miss it!). The majority of this program will take place "in the field", which involves traversing different terrain types (gravel road, grassy field, etc.), potentially using some tools for prairie planting and kiosk installation, and engaging in physical activity. There are two accessible parking spaces adjacent to the pavilion. Restrooms are available on site.
