September was a busy month in the field!

NCWF staff and Community Wildlife Chapters connected 2,243 people to nature through 65 wildlife and habitat events and activities across North Carolina. From swift watch parties and bird banding to native plantings, invasive species removals, and Hawk Watch events, staff and volunteers were out across the state learning about wildlife, restoring habitat, and putting conservation into action. One especially big impact: nearly 14 acres of invasive species were cleared, helping make room for healthier native habitat! Thank you to everyone who showed up, got their hands dirty, and helped make a difference for North Carolina wildlife. Read the full blog here: https://ncwf.org/blog/ncwf-in-the-field-september-2026/
