Stronger With Your Support

Many thanks for your interest in supporting the French Broad Paddle Trail!

Although the Trail is managed in-partnership by government agencies, regional non-profits, local businesses, and volunteers, MountainTrue leads watershed-wide efforts through its French Broad Riverkeeper program based in Asheville, and needs funding to manage our respective involvement with access points, campsites, signage, website, mapping, and stewardship. Our stewardship program, which is focused on cleaning up trash, removing blockages, and restoring riparian areas, also requires resources, and while we occasionally receive grants from a variety of sources, we largely rely on donations from individuals to keep this work going.

If you have any questions about where your money goes and what it supports, feel free to reach out to our French Broad Paddle Trail Manager, Jack Henderson, at jack@mountaintrue.org.
