Did you know there are over 30 Forest Communities in the Southern Appalachians? Join our Public Lands Director and Ecologist Bob Gale on a hike to learn more about the biodiversity of flora throughout the Forest Communities on the Tanawha Trail. We will find ourselves immersed in the Spruce-Fir Forest Community and the High Elevation Red Oak Community along this trail. This 4-mile hike is strenuous and can be steep in a few places; there are various rocky areas where footing can be tricky. Please consider your ability to climb over rocks and maintain balance while hiking over roots before signing up to attend this hike.

High Country Live Staking Workday (12/3/21)

The Valle Crucis Community Park 2892 Broadstone Road, Valle Crucis, NC, United States

Livestaking is the process of planting live cuttings of dormant trees in the riparian buffer zone along the stream bank which helps filter stormwater runoff, protect vital aquatic habitat, and prevent soil erosion and sediment pollution. As these planted stakes grow into trees, they stabilize the sides of the rivers and creeks where we plant them and reduce the overall amount of sediment and toxins getting into the river. Come plant with us at one of our livestaking work days from December through March!
