Due to inclement weather, our Giving Tuesday clean-up has been rescheduled to Thursday, Dec. 11th. Join MountainTrue for a special Giving Tuesday river clean-up sponsored by our friends at Pirani Life. Pirani will graciously donate $2 per pound of trash removed (up to $5,000). Help us clean up the river AND raise funds! (This will be a land-based clean-up, but be prepared to wade in the water).
MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper, Erica Shanks, will host the second of two community listening sessions highlighting the past, present, and future work of MountainTrue on the Green and Pacolet rivers. This session is free and open to the public.
Feeling some seasonal depression? We've got just the cure. Get outside with us and eradicate some bad plants! We are joining forces to eradicate Oriental Bittersweet at the beautiful App State Farm and Blackburn Vannoy Estate with our friends at Blue Ridge Conservancy (BRC) and Appalachian State. Volunteers will cut vines and then chemically treat cut stumps with herbicide. We will teach you everything you need to know.
From September 1 through the end of 2025, every Monday at Iron Key Brewing Co. is dedicated to the Green River. They will donate $2 from every pint sold to MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper program. Sip your favorite brew, support clean water, and help protect the Green River — one pint at a time.

Join your High Country crew, in partnership with High Country Wild, a local chapter of the North Carolina Wildlife Federation (NCWF) for another live staking workday to kick off the New Year. We will be planting thousands of trees at the park that day, thanks to National Wildlife Federation's Trees Trees for Wildlife Program.
Join MountainTrue for a riverside cleanup series in the heart of Chimney Rock Village. Clean-ups will happen monthly beginning in November 2025 and running through June of 2026.
Come visit your High Country crew at the Boone Winter Farmer's Market to learn all things live staking and even take a bundle or two home with you! We'll be there with a table set-up to teach folks how to, when to, and why to live stake their river or creek front property this winter. Our team is looking forward to talking streambank restoration with you during a cozy morning at the market, so come see us!
Come join the Mountain True team and Oak and Grist as we clean up the trash left behind by Hurricane Helene in the Swannanoa River. We will be removing trash and debris along the riparian areas.
