Workday activities

In partnership with The Tyger River Foundation, Upstate Forever will host an invasive management workday to improve habitat for neotropical migratory birds at the Upper Shoals at Glendale property on Lawsons Fork Creek in Spartanburg.

During this workday, volunteers will help with the removal of the invasive shrub Autumn Olive (Elaeanus umbellata) from the understory of the property. This work will also support post-hurricane recovery efforts at the Glendale property as disturbance opens up new windows for invasive species establishment.

What to wear and bring

Participants should wear long pants, close-toed shoes and gear that you don't mind getting dirty in. We will provide tools and gloves, but volunteers are more than welcome to bring their favorite gardening gloves or loppers.

Refreshments will be provided. Carpool if able. The number of volunteers for this workday is capped at 30.
