In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
MountainTrue, in partnership with the Mainspring Conservation Trust, is hosting a community 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 Multiflora rose then treating the stumps.
Join MountainTrue and Carolina Mountain Club for a day of trail maintenance work! You'll help clear and repair national forest trails damaged during Hurricane Helene.
Join MountainTrue and Friends of Hominy Creek Greenway for an afternoon of removing non-native invasive plants! We'll meet at noon at the Hominy Creek Greenway parking area, distribute supplies, then walk together to our work site.
Join MountainTrue Biologist Josh Kelly for a 4-mile hike where you will learn about wildflowers, songbirds, and other sights and sounds of the Appalachian Spring. Midway through the hike, the group will stop to pull garlic mustard for two hours and help maintain the native herbaceous diversity in a very rich forest. Wildflowers will be peaking above 4,000' on this scenic section of the Appalachian Trail.
