In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Help MountainTrue restore the native habitat of Richmond Hill Park! Join us for a fun work day to fight back non-native invasive species that threaten the habitat of our native flora.
Join MountainTrue's Ecologist and Public Lands Director, Bob Gale, for a gorgeous and educational hike through Pisgah National Forest. Bob has been studying and protecting the forests of WNC with MountainTrue since 1998. He knows these mountains like the back of his hand and will be sharing some knowledge on the hike, discussing everything from plant identification to the seasonal migration of Monarch butterflies.
MountainTrue is partnering with the Friends of the Oklawaha Greenway to remove invasive species from the Greenway. Invasive species often grow best along the edges of forests, making the greenway a great place to start tackling our invasive species problem. We need all the help we can get! All neccessary equipment will be provided, but please bring your own water and snacks. Close-toed shoes are required and long-sleeves/pants are strongly recommended.
As we look ahead to the release of a new forest management plan for the Pisgah and Nantahala National Forests and also a design plan for the I-26 Connector Project, we hope you'll stand with us to ensure these plans keep our forest and urban communities resilient and sustainable for the future! This event is free to all MountainTrue members and all are welcome to contribute $30 to become a member and join us for the event.
