HCC hosts conservation heritage event
Haywood Community College, in partnership with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission are hosting an event on the campus of Haywood Community College to celebrate our national conservation heritage.
Now in its 51st year, this nationally recognized day is the largest and most effective grassroots movement ever undertaken to promote outdoor sports and conservation.
This year, HCC and the North Carolina Wildlife Commission are coordinating a large, free, event which also includes the annual youth fishing tournament hosted by the Warrior Clan local group at the HCC millpond.
Family activities include interactive demonstrations, archery, falconry presentation, food trucks, giveaways, a wide variety of vendors and live demonstrations from the HCC Lumberjack team. Many partners and vendors will be on-site providing information and interactive activities. These groups include, but are not limited to: Ducks Unlimited, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (Great Smoky Mountains Chapter), US Forest Service, Crabtree Retrievers, Blue Ridge Snorkel Trail, Bearwise, Balsam Mountain Trust, and more.
This event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, on HCC campus in Clyde on Saturday. Demonstrations will occur multiple times during the day, and vendors will be available throughout the event. Food trucks will be onsite. This event is free to the public.
