All are welcome to join us on this lovely section of the river that Sarah Spencer held dear to her heart. While paddling the shallow, shaded, cool waters between rock cliffs and rhododendrons, Sarah would always stop to pick up any litter along the way. Sarah, Beejay, Billy, and Davey died tragically in 2016 in a car accident. This event is in remembrance and honor of these friends and their love for our river.
Join MountainTrue for a workday! We will be removing non-native invasive plants from the Hominy Creek Greenway. Please wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toed shoes. Bring plenty of water, snacks, and anything else you need to be safe and comfortable.
Join MountainTrue for a riverside cleanup in the heart of Chimney Rock Village. We will meet up at 10:00 am in the paved public parking lot beside Chimney Rock Smokehouse.

Come join the Mountain True team and Oak and Grist as we clean up the trash left behind by Hurricane Helene in the Swannanoa River. We will be removing trash and debris along the riparian areas.

Want to get in the river AND contribute to its health? Assist MountainTrue with cleanout and inventory of trash types and brands found within the Trash Trout. This trash trout cleanout will be at Winkler’s Creek. Made from recycled materials, this passive litter collection device will be sure to get you asking questions and feeling good about what we can do to mitigate the trash found in the river.
