Volunteer for MountainTrue’s Helene Design Pledge 2024-2025

Design Volunteers Needed! MountainTrue is excited to announce the launch of a community-driven design program aimed at helping rebuild areas in Western North Carolina that were devastated by Hurricane Helene.

Ultimately, we hope to provide critical design services to communities throughout Western North Carolina.

Volunteer to Document Landslides Post-Helene in WNC

MountainTrue is seeking volunteers to document landslides
We're seeking volunteers for a new citizen science program to help document landslide impacts to roads and trails on public lands, with a particular focus on Nantahala, Pisgah, and Cherokee National Forests. All you need to participate is the desire to get out in the woods and a smartphone. The data collected will be shared with land stewardship agencies and other partners, and will be useful in setting priorities for infrastructure repair following the storm. To participate, please fill out this volunteer interest form.
