MountainTrue Hominy Creek Water Quality Sample Blitz near Asheville, NC July 22, 29 & Aug 5th

June 9, 2026 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

We’re doing an intensive water quality look in Hominy Creek. For three weeks, we’ll be taking samples specifically looking at bacteria pollution in Hominy Creek.

We’ll meet at the Ingles parking lot (address below), where MountainTrue staff will give you materials and teach you what you need to know. From there, we’ll all go grab samples from different locations and then meet back at the Ingles parking lot by 2PM to drop samples off, so MountainTrue staff can bring them back to the lab to process.

Bring lunch and a small cooler if you have one. We’ll provide sampling materials and gloves. We’ll be working off of Google Maps, so it’s helpful to have that app on your phone, or partner with someone who does. Wear clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting wet or dirty.

Meet-up location: Ingles Parking Lot 1572 Sand Hill Rd, Candler, NC 28715

Please wear clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty.

Samples will be taken on three consecutive weeks. Please sign up for the shifts that work for you.
