Green River Spring (Quaran)Clean

Join MountainTrue's Green Riverkeeper and Liquidlogic Co-founder Shane Benedict for the 10th Annual Green River Spring Cleaning! Unfortunately we can't meet up to clean the river together this year, but we can still do our part to keep trash out of our river. This year we're asking you to grab a trash bag and gloves and pick up trash from your local creek, greenway or your street. All this trash would otherwise end up in our rivers! Use the hashtags #greenriverspringcleaning or #greenrivercleanup to let us know you're participating. We'll send prizes to the top 3 trash finds.

Earth Day Clean up Challenge

Challenge yourself to clean up trash at a local Western North Carolina area in need. Share your before and after clean up photos on Facebook and Instagram by tagging @mtntrue with the hashtag #MTEarthDayChallenge. The person who collects the most trash in the photo shared with us will win a prize announced at 7pm on 4/22. During this time we encourage you to collect trash individually, or with your family. *To be eligible for the prize, participants must be registered on the online signup form*

Braaap 69 - sunburst

2020 Liquidlogic Kayak Raffle to Benefit MountainTrue

Liquidlogic has generously donated a brand new Braaap 69 whitewater kayak to MountainTrue to raffle off this spring as a fundraiser. Here's what Liquidlogic has to say about their new boat: "The Braaap is the progression in how a performance river running boat is defined. The Braaap has enough volume for all but your most challenging runs, yet it is small enough to control in the air, pivot turn, and surf like a dream." All raffle proceeds benefit the programs of MountainTrue - in particular, our four Riverkeepers who work hard to keep our region's rivers running clean for boaters to enjoy all year round! Enter to win today and support clean water in our mountains!

Virtual Green Drinks – August

Webinar--online

Virtual Hendersonville Green Drinks welcomes Tony Dunn, a former USFS Fire Behavior Analyst and a Camp Fire survivor. On November 8, 2018, a wildfire swept through the mountain town of Paradise, CA. It was the most destructive fire in California history and caused the permanent dislocation of nearly 50,000 people, most of them elderly and financially disadvantaged. Tony Dunn outlines how climate change contributed to the fire and how climate-driven disasters like the Camp Fire disproportionately impact vulnerable communities and their ability to recover.
