In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Volunteers are invited to help clean up trash with French Broad Paddle Trail Manager, Jack Henderson, and other members of MountainTrue's French Broad Riverkeeper team.
The clean-up will be boat-based and focus on the French Broad River in Transylvania and Henderson counties between Penrose Boating Access Area and Blantyre Park.
We're doing an intensive water quality look across the Mud Creek watershed. For three weeks, we'll be taking samples specifically looking at bacteria pollution in Mud Creek.
Are you finally ready to start recovering your yard after Hurricane Helene? MountainTrue is thrilled to have former MountainTrue Public Lands Director (and ecologist) Bob Gale present on how to clean up, rebuild, and replant using native plants that bounce back better after storms. We’ll cover what to do first, what to plant, and how to create a yard that’s not just beautiful, but more resilient.
This year marks the 12th annual Women’s Green River Takeover — and instead of the usual group paddle, the event is teaming up with MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper for a special river cleanup day on Saturday, August 23.
Participants are invited to camp Friday and Saturday nights at the Green River Ranch (suggested donation: $20 to be given when you arrive to camp), and take part in a community raffle to help fund future Green Riverkeeper cleanup efforts. While this event centers the experiences of women in whitewater, it welcomes all genders who support the mission of getting more women on the river.
Our region’s rivers were heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, and with breweries playing a key role in our tourism economy, MountainTrue, the French Broad Riverkeeper, and Hi-Wire Brewing are teaming up to help restore our waterways.
Join us on August 23rd for a river cleanup! We'll head out for an on-the-water cleanup, then return to the brewery to celebrate with beer and prizes.
