Invasive Plant Removal at Carroll Howard Johnson EE Park (CHJEEP) 05-12

Volunteers Needed for Invasive Plant Removal at Carroll Howard Johnson Environmental Education Park (CHJEEP) on MondayMAY 12, 2025, 9 - 11 am
Location is 301 Wagstaff Rd., Fuquay-Varina 27526
Leader: Jim Hunsberger, jim.hunsberger@gmail.com

Please join Wake Audubon volunteers and help with invasive plant removal at CHJEEP. This helps the birds and other wildlife.
We will meet in the parking lot of CHJEEP.
Town staff will be on hand with a debris trailer. They will use targeted herbicide treatments as necessary after we remove the plants (thus, we don't have to struggle to dig out the roots).

Volunteers: wear closed toe shoes or boots, bring work gloves, a hat, bug repellent, sun screen, safety goggles, and water. If you have your own small limb loppers or shears, you may bring those as well, but not necessary. No power tools, please.

Thanks for helping to improve the flora of this lovely park! "The focus of this 28-acre park is environmental education. Carroll Howard Johnson Environmental Education Park was originally a 20-acre tract of land donated to the Town of Fuquay-Varina in 1992 by the late Mayor Alfred Johnson and his wife Carroll Howard Johnson. Eight acres were donated by Horace Tart in 1998, enlarging the park to its current 28 acres.

Get back to nature at the Carroll Howard Johnson Environmental Education Park. Explore the 2-mile nature trail and uncover the natural treasures in Fuquay-Varina. Crossing beautiful overlooks and natural bridges, visitors will find a path of wooded splendor, local flora and fauna, and many species of birds that highlight the everyday wonders of Fuquay-Varina’s nature."
Thanks for helping out!
