Earth Day Clean Up Challenge 2021

Challenge yourself to clean up trash at a local park, roadside, or streamside area in need. Share your before and after clean-up photos on Facebook and Instagram by tagging @mtntrue with the hashtag #MTEarthDayChallenge. The person in each of our four MountainTrue regions who collects the most trash in the photo shared with us will win a prize announced at 7 pm on 5/4. During this time we encourage you to collect trash individually, or with your household members.

Socially Distant Lake Adger Spring Cleaning

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WAS POSTPONED TO APRIL 17
Join MountainTrue's Green Riverkeeper for the Lake Adger Spring Cleaning! For obvious reasons, we'll need to take additional precautions to keep everyone safe and healthy this year, including wearing masks in parking lots and anytime you can't maintain 6 feet of distance. Head out on the lake at your convenience on Saturday, April 17, collect as much trash as you can, and deliver it to the NC Wildlife dump truck parked at Lake Adger Marina no later than 4:00 PM.

Use the hashtags #lakeadgerspringcleaning or #lakeadgercleanup and tag Green Riverkeeper in your social media posts with photos of your haul. We'll judge the entries and send prizes to the best, biggest, weirdest, and most trash finds. Show us what you got! Pre-register here so we can be in touch about coordinating efforts and get a coupon for a free beer from Hi-Wire brewing for participating!

Canceled: Island Park Invasive Plant Volunteer Work Session

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO BAD WEATHER

MountainTrue has joined forces with the Tuckasegee River Alliance to help eradicate nonnative invasive plants at Island Park in Bryson City. Island Park - which is currently closed to the public pending storm damage repairs - is an island in the Tuckasegee River that hosts a beautiful riparian forest with some very large trees. However, infestations of non-native invasive plant species threaten native diversity, especially in terms of wildflowers and forest understory, creating the need for restoration work to bring the island back to its full splendor.
