Could something as simple as building more houses in town help abate climate change? We'll explore the answers to this question and more at this Sierra Club meeting on June 5. We will hear from MountainTrue's Susan Bean and Eva Snyder about Neighbors for More Neighbors WNC (N4MN), which aims to help create healthier communities for all of us while also reducing our carbon footprint.

We are heading up to the South Mountain foothills for a fun paddle on the cool shady waters of the First Broad River. Just downstream from the South Mountain Game Lands and one of our few Outstanding Resource Waters, this is some of the cleanest and life-filled water in the Broad River basin. The water is likely to be pretty shallow and “bony”, that is, we will be scraping and dragging over quite a few rocks and gravel beds.

Join MountainTrue, Wicked Weed, and Dewey Property to cleanup our rivers and stick around for the after-party at The Outpost.

Beech Mountain Summer Music Series is back! Come jam out with us on the mountain and say hi to the Watauga Riverkeeper and members of the clean water team!
