Join MountainTrue and the City of Hendersonville to combat streambank sediment erosion in our local waterways through live staking workdays in our Southern Region.

We rely on volunteers to help us monitor stream health throughout Henderson and Polk Counties and participate in biomonitoring twice a year, in April and October. Through the Stream Monitoring Information Exchange (SMIE) biomonitoring program, we sample aquatic macroinvertebrates, or aquatic insects, as indicators of water quality. Both new and returning SMIE volunteers are welcome.
