SUMMARY:NC Bradford Pear Bounty Tree Exchange
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe exchange is free and open to the public\, but pre-registration is required to ensure tree pick-up runs smoothly. Before and after pictures of the Bradford Pear trees you cut down must be shown to organizers at the pick-up to receive replacement trees. \nA total of 200 native trees will be available on a first come\, first served basis in three-gallon pots\, while supplies last. Some examples of native trees that have been distributed in the past include redbud\, serviceberry\, black cherry and white oak. Please note that this program is geared toward homeowners/landowners. Trees should never be removed from property without the owner’s permission.

SUMMARY:Shellebrate NC Oyster Month in October
DESCRIPTION:Join us each October as we “shellebrate” the history\, culture\, economy\, and ecology of oysters in North Carolina! \nOysters play an important role in coastal communities. In the environment\, oysters improve water quality and create habitat for other animals. Their unique flavor makes them a desirable dish\, supporting the livelihoods of watermen and local economies across the state. In years past\, the N.C. Department of Natural and Cultural Resources\, NC Oyster Trail\, North Carolina Sea Grant\, and the NC Coastal Federation partnered to bring you a week of oyster facts\, resources\, and programming. In 2023\, we will put on NC OYSTER MONTH. Y’all get ready! \nWe share NC Oyster Month information on social media using the hashtags #NCOysterMonth #NCOysters #GiveAShuck #KeepShuckin’. \nView the full list of events at NC Oyster Trail
