Join us for Pisgah Pride Day on September 24!

MountainTrue is proud to be an official partner of the The Pisgah Conservancy’s first annual Pisgah Pride Day! Pride Day, on September 24, falls on National Public Lands Day, and is a broad volunteer opportunity for community members to contribute to the success of the Pisgah. The name of the event stems from The Pisgah Conservancy’s desire to instill pride in the maintenance of the Pisgah, and to encourage all members to a part in enjoying the forest.

The Pisgah Conservancy, the Forest Service and its established partners are teaming up with  local business, schools, nonprofit organizations and other local forest users to make this event a success! Volunteers will participate on teams to work on a variety of projects all over the Pisgah! MountainTrue’s own Bob Gale will be working in Pisgah Pride Day to inventory nonnative, invasive species on Avery’s Creek Trail, Clawhammer Trail, and Perry Cove Trail. With the help of volunteers, he’ll be mapping out the location and density of these nonnative plants.

Show your pride for the Pisgah Forest and lend a hand on projects and maintenance vital to the well-being of the forest and its diverse ecosystem. Plus, after finishing the work day, volunteers can head to Oskar Blues Brewery in Brevard, where a percentage of all proceeds will be donated to The Pisgah Conservancy. All are welcome. Sign up through The Pisgah Conservancy’s website to volunteer. Come out and show your pride!
