In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Help the French Broad Riverkeeper sample around the Swannanoa watershed, looking for any weak or impaired sewer and septic infrastructure that might have been damaged from Hurricane Helene. We'll teach you everything you need to know on how to sample and give you all the supplies. You'll go to predetermined sites, grab samples, and meet us back to drop the samples off.
