In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Join Mountaintrue's Ecologist & Public Lands Director Bob Gale as we explore the trail leading to Rattle Snake Lodge. More than thirty varieties of flowers are known to live on the way to the lodge, including dwarf larkspur, Jack-in-the-pulpit, and blue cohosh. During the hike, Bob will stop and discuss the wildflowers we will see on this trail. The hike will take us to the Rattlesnake lodge site, which was built in 1903 as a summer home for Dr. Chase P. Ambler. The Parkway gained the right-of-way in the 1930s, giving hikers an opportunity to explore the remains.
MountainTrue and AARP, in cooperation with partners of Strive Not to Drive, will be hosting a webinar on May 13 at 12:30pm to highlight some alternative modes of getting around town. The program will cover three main topic areas: transit, streets & sidewalks (make-overs to complete streets), and greenways. To cover each topic we will show a couple of short videos highlighting a local user of that mode of transport talking about how and why they use it, followed by Q&A with the audience and expert guests.
