Join your Broad Riverkeeper and MountainTrue South Debris Removal Crew at the confluence of Hickory Creek and the Broad River to plant live stakes along the shore line. Hurricane Helene scoured the stream and riverbanks, leaving bare earth and rocks, susceptible to erosion which leads to sediment entering the river. Help us stabilize the riverbanks and restore the waterways to their natural beauty.
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.

What to bring: Expect to be outside all afternoon so please dress in clothes that you don’t mind getting wet and dirty and bring what you need to stay warm, including waders or high muck boots if you have them. Bring water and snacks.
Please nobody under the age of 18 for safety reasons.
All volunteers are eligible to receive a complimentary annual membership to MountainTrue. To activate your membership, please email members@mountaintrue.org
