Volunteer with us at the Asheville Marathon! MountainTrue has been chosen as a Charity Partner for the 2023 Asheville Marathon and Half, and they need our help! We are looking for 10 volunteers to help with the event on Saturday, March 18, 2023. Asheville Marathon and Half will donate money to MountainTrue for every volunteer that works a 4-hour shift.
This is a great late-winter hike that follows the Green River offering continuous views of its quiet stretches to its most intense rapids. We'll look for early wildflowers and migrating warblers. Because it lies at lower elevations than more northerly mountain counties, temperatures should be mild and spring vegetation will be farther along.
MountainTrue is hosting our second volunteer workday to control non-native invasive plants and restore native habitat at the Jackson County Greenway. We will primarily be pulling up roots and using hand tools to remove invasive shrubs like Chinese privet and then treat the stumps.
