Challenge yourself to clean up trash at a local park, roadside, or streamside area in need. Share your before and after clean-up photos on Facebook and Instagram by tagging @mtntrue with the hashtag #MTEarthDayChallenge. The person in each of our four MountainTrue regions who collects the most trash in the photo shared with us will win a prize announced at 7 pm on 5/4. During this time we encourage you to collect trash individually, or with your household members.

Mud Creek Non-native Invasive Species Removal Volunteer Workday
Mud Creek Non-native Invasive Species Removal Volunteer Workday
We will be promoting the growth of native species by removing non-native invasive plants, specifically Chinese privet, along a French Broad River Paddle Trail access campsite managed by MountainTrue. We will remove these plants through hand pulling or cutting them at their base and applying a small amount of herbicide to the cut surface.
Volunteers must be able to walk moderate distances across rough terrain. All tools and gloves will be provided. Plant ID and removal techniques will be taught on-site. You will get dirty, so make sure to wear appropriate clothing.
