Charlotte Wildlife Stewards - a chapter of the NC Wildlife Federation

Here is a delicious way to support Charlotte Wildlife Stewards! Please be sure to mention DONATE with when you order.
Thanks to Shake Shack at South End for this opportunity!

With the recent rain the Pollinator Pitstop at Charlotte's Veterans Park is looking fantastic! Not only are the "authorized" plants thriving, but so are the Bermuda grass and weeds. Volunteers are needed to weed the garden on Saturday, June 27, 9am-12pm.
Details and signup here: https://volunteer.parkandrec.mecklenburgcountync.gov/need/detail/?need_id=1270189
It's a good opportunity for Central Master Gardeners to earn MCPR volunteer hours.

Did you ever wonder why NCWF has a bison on its logo? Bison were native in North Carolina until about 1799 when the last one was shot.

Believe it or not, bison once roamed North Carolina.

In fact, so many places across the state still carry the buffalo name today, from Buffalo Creek to Buffalo Cove.

Though bison in NC disappeared from the wild in the 1700s, they still remain a powerful conservation symbol, including right here at NC Wildlife Federation, where it has been part of our logo since 1969.
