Come help us restore riverbanks that were destroyed by Hurricane Helene. We’ll teach you all you need to know and supply all the materials for a good day helping to repair our waterways.

Live staking is stream bank repair using native tree cuttings to revegetate the riparian buffer. It consists of planting trees, shrubs, and grasses alongside stream banks and plays a crucial role in protecting stream health. See https://mountaintrue.org/mountaintrue-faq-live-staking/

What to bring: Expect to be outside all day so please dress in clothes that you don’t mind getting wet and dirty and bring what you need to stay warm. Participants should bring their own water and lunch.

Please nobody under the age of 18 for safety reasons.

LOCATION: Meet 10AM Burnsville Ingles: (400 E U.S. Hwy 19E Bypass, Burnsville, NC 28714). We’ll carpool to the site from there.
