The Friends of the Greenway invites the community to participate in a “Walk on the Greenway” on April 21 at 10:30 am beginning at the Macon County Library on Siler Road.  Sunny Himes will lead about a 2 mile walk, highlighting several natural communities include a Red Cedar-Hardwood Woodland, Montane Alluvial Forest and Floodplain wetlands.  Discussion points will be historic and current uses of the land around the Greenway, how these uses shaped today’s terrain and plant community compositions, and the challenges of wildland restorations in a popular urban park.  Ms. Himes is a lecturer at Western Carolina University in botany, ecology and introdcution biology.  She is past FROG Board member and continues to manage restoration projects on the Greenway.

A $5 donation is suggested for this benefit walk.  Send email of your intent in participating on the walk to [email protected]
