Moonlight Paddle on the Broad
Have you ever paddled by the light of the moon? Join our Broad Riverkeeper for a Moonlight paddle on the Broad River. As we go, our Broad Riverkeeper will talk about the history of the Broad River and the work that he does to protect it. This section is flat water, so should be easy going, though we will now be starting from and returning to the same point to avoid the need for shuttling vehicles as a precaution against COVID-19, so we will need to paddle against some current for a portion of the trip. We'll meet at the Broad River Greenway at 8:00pm and plan on putting in right around sunset. We have some canoes, kayaks, paddles, and pfds that you can reserve in advance, but you're also welcome to bring your own gear!

Virtual Hendersonville Green Drinks: DuPont Forest: A History
On Thursday October 8th, Virtual Hendersonville Green Drinks welcomes author Danny Bernstein to discuss her newest book DuPont Forest, A History. DuPont Forest protects thousands of acres of trees, five lakes and more than one hundred miles of multiuse trails. It took not only the generosity of a multinational company but also Southern Appalachian grit and self-reliance and local activism to make these benefits available to all. DuPont Forest is young, and its future is still unfolding. Author and hiker Danny Bernstein traces the past of DuPont State Recreational Forest and shows its potential. Sign up to get the Zoom link to access the webinar.
