Soapstone Ridge Ash Hike

Ecusta Brewing 49 Pisgah Hwy #3, Pisgah Forest, NC

Do you to want help Save Pisgah’s Ashes? Then come learn about then first! Join MountainTrue’s Field Biologist, Josh Kelly, and Forest Keeper, Rhys Burns, on a beautiful and educational hike through one of our surviving local ash tree groves. Our ash trees are under threat from the invasive Emerald Ash Borer that has decimated the ash communities of WNC. Soapstone Ridge is home to one of the ash communities that MountainTrue has worked to save. The hike is an easy, 2-mile out and back, with some moderate elevation change towards the end, making this a great hike for families or folks who don’t want to spend the whole day outdoors. We will make plenty of stops along the way to talk about the Emerald Ash Borer, the ash tree treatment process, and anything else of interest we stumble across! We hope you’ll come away inspired to help us Save Pisgah’s Ashes, or at least join us for a beer afterwards at Ecusta Brewing for an information session about the Save Pisgah’s Ashes campaign.

Green River Gorge Hike

Green River Cove Trail 3770 Green River Cove Road, Saluda, United States

Celebrate the arrival of spring with this moderate 6.8 mile out-and-back hike into the Green River Gorge. Guided by expert ecologist and MountainTrue Public Lands Director Bob Gale, we will search out the season’s first ephemeral wildflowers such as trillium, bloodroot, and toothwort. Because the Game Lands lie at a lower elevation, they have milder temperatures, giving us the chance to be among the first to see early spring vegetation and wildflowers. Our path will follow the Green River and offer continuous views of its quiet stretches and splendid rapids. The trail will lead us through a healthy eastern hemlock grove, past many dying hemlocks, and alongside several trees in stages of recovery. As we pass these hemlocks, we will learn about the ongoing threat of the hemlock wooly adelgid in our mountains. Finally, we will hike up to a rock outcrop and enjoy a view of kayakers as they tackle the legendary rapids of the Narrows below.
