Coffee Hour with MountainTrue: Ancient Forests of the Blue Ridge in Asheville, NC

Wrong Way River Lodge & Cabins 9 Midnight Drive, Asheville, United States

The original forests of the Blue Ridge had trees of all ages and sizes. Large, old trees were abundant. The onslaught of industrial logging removed most of those forests, but due to the ruggedness of our mountains and sustained conservation over generations, at least 3% of the Southern Blue Ridge is in old-growth condition. Josh Kelly has spent years documenting and protecting old-growth forests on public land. Josh will take you on a 45 minute, coffee inspired, exploration of our region's old-growth forests, including where to find them, how to recognize them, and the deep values they represent.

Wait - so you’re saying that you did NOT read the 150+ page report that came out just before the holidays? I feel you. And this event is for you. We want everyone to understand what is meant by the term missing middle housing - because it may not be what you expect. We also want to talk about why it might be a very good thing for our community if we could get more of it. Attendance is free but we ask that you RSVP in advance.
