2025 MountainTrue BioBlitz at Hickory Nut Gap Farm near Asheville, NC 6/21

Each year, MountainTrue hosts a BioBlitz to record all the species we can find in a given area. We identify and catalog organisms using the online app iNaturalist. The BioBiltz this year will be on June 21st at Hickory Nut Gap Farm near Asheville, NC.

Volunteers will hike with experts in reptiles/amphibians, mammals, birds, plants, and mushrooms.
*Group sign-ups are taken at the event and are first come, first serve.  Group availability is subject to change.

We will meet at 12:30 pm to complete waivers and sign-up for groups. The BioBlitz will kick off at 1 pm and end at 5 pm. But the fun doesn’t stop there. We hope our volunteers will stick around for the barn dance at Hickory Nut Gap from 5 to 9 pm. All BioBlitz volunteers will receive free admission to the barn dance. 

Garage BBQ food truck, proudly serving HNG meats with style, smoke and THE SAUCES, will be on site where you can purchase dinner! MountainTrue will provide snacks.

Please bring: water, sunscreen, bug spray, notebook (if desired), sturdy close-toed shoes and any snacks, etc. that you may need.

**Kids aged 6 and up are welcome to join if they are accompanied by a parent/guardian for the duration of the trip.
