Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians lead the way in restoring native rivercane to our tribal homelands and other areas devastated by Hurricane Helene.

Once stripped from the landscape, rivercane is returning to WNC as a climate solution
Rivercane enthusiasts hope this native bamboo can help to heal old harms to land and people – and strengthen the riverbank against the next flood.

Rivercane (Ih-ya) was and is a pillar of a whole ecosystem that was a major material for things like tools, baskets, clothing, weapons, ect.
Colonialist Farmers would set pigs on it to root them out and destroy patches.
It was a major part of the ecosystem of the carolina parakeet.

The Tulip Popular Tree flowers bloom way up high in its canopy, and then they fall to the ground. It’s a powerhouse tree for wildlife: attracts pollinators, serves as a food source & larval host, and provides nesting sites. Can reach to 100 feet. Alt-text for more info #liriodendrontulipifera
