Ash Inventory Training

Street Gap

Are you concerned about the future of our forests? We need people who will help us collect data to improve our ability to effectively protect our trees. As part of our Save Pisgah's Ashes campaign, we are planning to treat ash trees in Pisgah to protect them from the Emerald Ash Borer. However, there are ash trees all over WNC, many that we have not yet documented, and therefore, cannot treat them. We are calling on the adventurous people of WNC to help us find the ash trees in our region. In this training, you will learn how to identify ash trees, assess them for signs of Emerald Ash Borer, collect data on the trees, and how to send us that data, so we can use it to inform our ash tree treatment. This training is free, but please bring your own lunch and water. If you have a gps, bring that too!

Stream Team Training

Blue Ridge Community College 180 W Campus Dr, Flat Rock, NC, United States

Interested in helping protect WNC's rivers? Join a Stream Team today! Our stream teams assess the health of local rivers by collecting and identifying aquatic insects that serve as indicators of water quality. This one day Stream Monitoring Information Exchange (SMIE) workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge required to join a stream team. The morning will be spent learning about these insects in the lab. We will head out into the field in the afternoon to learn the protocol. All materials, lunch and snacks will be provided. Please wear clothes you can get dirty and bring a water bottle!
