Camcore is a non-profit, international tree breeding organization based at NCSU. Its work focuses on maintaining a broad genetic base of tree species, many of which are especially suited to plantation forestry as well as several threatened conifers native to the southern US, including the eastern and Carolina hemlock. Our volunteer work day with Camcore helps to educate the public about the plight of hemlocks and the work Camcore is doing to save them, as well as lending many hands to Camcore staff on some larger projects.
The work day will be from 9:30 am to 3:00 pm at the Mountain Research Station in Waynesville, NC. Please sign up before Friday, April 22 by emailing info@savehemlocksnc.org or calling 828-252-4783. More information about the meeting location and what to bring will be provided after registering.
