NCWRC seeking volunteers to help improve fishing habitat

NCWRC

Improvements include establishing aquatic plant communities

The NCWRC needs help with improving habitat for sport fishes and other wildlife by establishing self-sustaining native aquatic plant communities. These wetland communities can also help improve water quality, stabilize banks, as well as angler catch rates and enjoyment.

If you’re interested in helping out, NC Wildlife urges you to contact the project leader listed below to let them know you are interested, and what dates you are available. The specific dates within the week may change based on work accomplished, scheduling, number of volunteers, etc.

Volunteers should be prepared to get wet and have fun. This work is performed in the water, up to the waists. Closed-toed shoes are required because of underwater hazards like stumps and logs.

Several habitat projects have already been conducted this spring and summer. July locations and dates are as follows:

July 6-7: Oak Hollow
