Help Memorialize the old-growth forest at Brushy Mountain near Cashiers, NC 3/22-CANCELED

The Village Green Playground 71 US-64, Cashiers, NC

The top of Brushy Mountain had a very old forest that MountainTrue unsuccessfully tried to protect from a logging project by Nantahala National Forest. The site was logged in the fall of 2024. We are seeking volunteers to help document the age of the trees by counting rings on cut stumps. This information will be compiled in a report that we will use to memorialize the forest and raise awareness of the value of old growth.
