In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
A key component to a healthy stream or lake and good water quality is native trees and shrubs. In order to raise awareness about the beautiful, resilient plants that are native to our Southern Appalachian Mountains and to provide a little funding for our ongoing invasive plant eradication efforts, we are again holding a Native Tree and Shrub Sale this fall. Choose from 36 species of native trees and shrubs, ranging from large shade trees, native ornamentals, pollinator species, and those particularly beneficial to wildlife.
Come out on Tuesday, October 26th for an Invasive Plant Control Event on the Oklawaha Greenway. At the start of this event, you will receive a brief training on identifying target invasive plants and control methods (manual and herbicide application). After being trained we will walk to a section of the Oklawaha Greenway near the wetland forest and remove invasive species to help restore the native wetland habitat.
Each year, MountainTrue hosts a gathering of our members to recognize and honor outstanding volunteers, vote on new board members, and reflect on a year of hard work and accomplishments. We hope you can join us to recognize and honor MountainTrue’s 2021 Southern Region Volunteer of the Year: Erica Shanks! We are excited to be gathering in person this year and hope you can come connect with us. All attendees are required to be vaccinated.
