The Bradford Bounty  Exchange is a collaborate effort between the NC Urban Forest Council, NC State Extension, NC Forest Service and NC Wildlife Federation that aims to reduce the amount of invasive Bradford pear trees in North Carolina and expand native tree canopy. Participants who cut down Bradford pear trees on their property may register to pick up to five native trees of their choice at the Bradford Bounty Exchange event.

This 3-hour session will serve as an introduction to the selling points/implementation/feasibility of living shorelines. This course offers the foundation for understanding causes and solutions for shoreline erosion, habitat enhancement, and stabilization techniques.
