Main Street Nature Park Certified!!

We're pleased to announce that 2009 is starting out with a very important event - the certification of Main Street Nature Park as our newest Habitat in the "commons" category. This category includes our Town-owned lands, as well as other properties where land is held in common by an organization, business, or group of individuals.

The application emphasized the efforts made to remove exotic invasive plants and replace them with native species to augment the already abundant growth of native food and cover plants. Weaverville Wildlife Habitat salutes the efforts of the Town of Weaverville to develop this park and the time contributed by several individuals and groups - most notably the Weaverville maintenance crews, landscape architect Randy Burroughs, Weaverville Garden Club, Weaverville Tree Board and (more recently) members of the Habitat Team.
