In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Liquidlogic has generously donated a brand new Braaap 69 whitewater kayak to MountainTrue to raffle off this spring as a fundraiser. Here's what Liquidlogic has to say about their new boat: "The Braaap is the progression in how a performance river running boat is defined. The Braaap has enough volume for all but your most challenging runs, yet it is small enough to control in the air, pivot turn, and surf like a dream." All raffle proceeds benefit the programs of MountainTrue - in particular, our four Riverkeepers who work hard to keep our region's rivers running clean for boaters to enjoy all year round! Enter to win today and support clean water in our mountains!
Join us to experience what it's like to negotiate a climate deal to address one of the greatest human and environmental challenges of this century. The Climate Action Simulation is a highly interactive, role-playing game. It uses the En-ROADS simulation model to engage a wide range of participants in exploring key technology and policy solutions for addressing climate change. The game is conducted as a simulated emergency summit organized by the United Nations that convenes global stakeholders. In the game, it's our job to establish a concrete plan that limits global warming to Paris Agreement goals. Feel free to participate as an individual or invite your congregation's creation care team.
