Non-Native Invasive Plants at Tregaron

The Tregaron Conservancy is working hard to stop the spread of non-native invasive plants that are threatening our plant and animal habitat. Over our first 15 years, we have succeeded in removing vast quantities of invasives and restoring the ecological health of large areas of our landscape. But our work is far from finished! Thanks to our professional maintenance crew and trained volunteers, we are continuing to remove invasives using a variety of methods.

The following are the non-native invasive plants that we are prioritizing for removal.

Tai Chi with David Harold- Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays & Fridays

Free

Weekly Tai Chi Practice led by David Harold on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9-10 a.m. The group will gather west of the Lily Pond (or in the nearby Twin Oak meadow if the Conservancy is hosting another event). The nearest entrance is 3031 Klingle Road NW.

Note: The program will only be canceled in the even of heavy rain, high winds, or thunderstorms, or if David is unavalible. Cancellations will be posted on the pop-up notice on the website home page.

No registration is necessary, but participants will be required to sign our standard release form at the start of the session.

David Harold has been practicing Taiji and Qigong for over 40 years for much of that time. He has studied both in Yang and Chen styles. He is retired from a career in psychotherapy and human services management.

David is passionate about making Taiji and Qigong practice and principles accessible. For 15 years, he led a free, weekly public outdoor practice in Winston-Salem, NC. That practice continues to be led by his students now that he has moved to DC. David is now particularly interested in using Taiji principles to build embodied peacemaking.
