Hawk Hollow is a greenspace owned by the Wylde Center which provides environmental education to the community. Tamara Jones led the restoration of this site from an overgrown lot of kudzu, privet, wisteria and more to a native plant habitat.
The front section features a sunny border of mixed wildflowers for example, scarlet hibiscus (Hibiscus coccineus), orange coneflower (Rudbeckia fulgida), scarlet beebalm (Monarda didyma), and garden phlox (Phlox paniculata). In the woodland and creek area live buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), southern shield fern (Dryopteris ludoviciana), and river oats (Chasmanthium latifolium) among many mature trees.
This restored natural habitat attracts many pollinators, birds, turtles, frogs and mammals. Hawk Hollow received a gold level award for reintroducing native plants to the landscape.
