Eno Climate Champions 4.0: September Session

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.

**Snacks, guest speakers, and resume-building opportunities provided! Recommended ages 12-17 years old.

Directions and accessibility info: The first 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!). Much of the program will take place under the pavilion, which is paved, but we may also spend some time walking around the preserve on natural surfaces and mostly flat terrain. There are two accessible parking spaces adjacent to the pavilion. Restrooms are available on site.

First session details: The first session will involve an introductory conversation on Piedmont Prairies, a walk to the Big Meadow at the Confluence, and some native plant-related activities.

Future session details: Exact dates for future sessions are TBD, but there will be a Climate Champions prairie restoration workday at the Confluence in late October.
