Ride Summary: Introducing Two Bikes’ Continuing Education Rides Series. For our first installment we’ll be visiting our friends at Native Plant Rescue Squad (NPRS), an educational non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation and restoration of the rich diversity of the native flora in East Tennessee.  NPRS works with entities such as builders, developers, and landowners to rescue native plants that would otherwise be destroyed during clearing, building, and development. The rescued plants are then made available for educational opportunities and restoration projects.

Sarah Heizenroth, a volunteer with the squad, will lead the ride and Joy Grissom, co-founder and director of NPRS will lead a tour, giving us an inside look at the ins-and-outs of their work and efforts to increase the overall ecological health of our region.

Afterwards, we’ll head to Orange Hat East/Baker Boy Pizza for post-learning beer and ‘za.
