Big Ivy Trailhead

Take a tour of an enchanting grove of ancient trees in the Big Ivy area of Pisgah National Forest. Most people drive by this grove, but it is truly exceptional, with trees over 400 years old and up to 56″ in diameter. This grove is also threatened by a redundant road construction project.

Get to know this forest and learn what you can do to protect it.

The Rain Date for this event is April 21. Please save both dates on your calendar.
