I would like to personally invite you to participate in the planting of longleaf pine trees as outlined under the events calendar dated February 13, 2010. This is a Saturday outing and will involve a drive to Southern Pines, NC located in the Sandhills of NC. There will be a similar opportunity on the following two Saturdays Feb 20 and Feb 27. I am working to help organize as large of a turn-out as possible. This event is being sponsored by The Nature Conservancy of North Carolina and will give all participants a first hand look at the longleaf pine ecosystem and an opportunity to offset part of our carbon footprint. You can call me at (980) 875-8900 for more details.
The address is 100 McDowell St in Matthews at the Matthews Community Center. Look under events at the Bluebirds! event and click on it. It may be that the network is having troubles this morning because it seems very slow. You can also look under "chapters" and then click on HAWK and the info is there as well.
The HAWK meeting tonight is in Matthews, so very close to Waxhaw. The OWLS meeting is at North Lake mall off of 77 North of town, so that's a bit far for you. Our meeting starts at 7pm. If you can make it, pls come up and introduce yourself.
