In the wake of Hurricane Helene, MountainTrue is dedicated to addressing the urgent needs of our community.
Join MountainTrue staff for what should be peak wildflower conditions along a beautiful section of the Appalachian Trail near Max Patch. We will hike four miles round trip to eradicate an early infestation of garlic mustard and enjoy the sights and sounds of spring along the way. The hike is moderately strenuous.
Join MountainTrue and the Tuckaseegee River Alliance at another Island Park Invasive Species Workday! We will again primarily be using hand tools to cut invasive shrubs like Chinese privet and then treat the stumps. No prior experience is necessary; we will provide tools and training. All you have to bring is water and energy!
Join us at the Appalachian Theatre of the High Country for a night of fly-fishing films and fun. A series of ten films will be shown over a two hour period. The fun will include an exclusive raffle, proceeds of which will go to support your Watauga Riverkeeper!
Are you ready to get outside to celebrate Earth Day? Join us in Andrews for the town’s annual Spring Fling & Nature Expo. At 10:00, just prior to the festival's start time, MountainTrue's western region program director, Tony Ward will be leading a nature walk and tour of a stream restoration project at the Andrews Heritage Park.
Join MountainTrue and The Town of Boone at the Appalachian Theatre this Earth Day! We will be celebrating by focusing on films talking about climate change. This event is free but donations from this event will go to benefit MountainTrue.
