Fish and Wildlife students Participate in a Service Learning Project
This past month, LTLT received a big helping hand when a group of students from Haywood Community College’s Fish and Wildlife Management program participated in a service learning project at the Morrison House property along Lakey Creek. Twenty two students worked two solid hours each along a portion of the fencerow leading to the historic house, clearing out invasive exotic plants such as Chinese privet, Japanese honeysuckle, and multiflora rose. The project was part of LTLT’s continuing efforts to clean up and restore the house and the land. LTLT has partnered with Preservation N.C. to market the property to potential conservation buyers interested in restoring the 1830’s era house and protecting the 130 acre farm property.
