NC Conservation Network will be hosting a screening of WRAL's Forever Chemicals: North Carolina’s Toxic Tap Water at RAD Brewing in Asheville, NC. Also known as PFAS chemicals, they’ve been found across the state and are harming our communities’ health and well-being. Directly following the screening, we’ll have a short discussion about forever chemicals in our state. We’ll also have some immediate actions you can take to help us stop forever chemical pollution.
Join us as we celebrate World Water Day throughout our regions. What is World Water Day, you might ask? It's a day to acknowledge and appreciate the importance of water and the hard work we do around protecting and conserving this precious resource.
The original forests of the Blue Ridge had trees of all ages and sizes. Large, old trees were abundant. The onslaught of industrial logging removed most of those forests, but due to the ruggedness of our mountains and sustained conservation over generations, at least 3% of the Southern Blue Ridge is in old-growth condition. Josh Kelly has spent years documenting and protecting old-growth forests on public land. Josh will take you on a 45 minute, coffee inspired, exploration of our region's old-growth forests, including where to find them, how to recognize them, and the deep values they represent.
Join members of the Carolina Mountain Club (CMC) and MountainTrue Biologist Josh Kelly for a wildflower hike in beautiful Big Creek. A comfortable roadbed meanders along rushing rapids, Mouse Creek Falls, huge boulders, and deep swimming holes. A beautiful forest and early wildflower environment make for a special experience - so bring your camera to this moderate in-and-out hike. Josh will discuss plants and trees along the way. Expect a slower hike because of the many wildflowers we will see. For this reason, we may not hike all the way to Big Creek.
Pick up your Native Plant and Shrub order in Asheville, NC on Thursday, April 11th between 4 and 7 p.m. Due to the heavy rainfall and risk of flooding at our original venue (The Outpost) the pick-up location has CHANGED!
Want to learn what MountainTrue has been doing to address single-use plastics and how you can help? Join us for a lunch and learn, hosted by MountainTrue and Green Sage Cafe.
We see them all over the road, clogging storm drains, and in the river, but plastics are more than just a trash issue. Single-use plastics are items of convenience, most of which are unrecyclable, that we may use for a few minutes before throwing them out. These disposable items wreak havoc on the environment but also pose serious threats to our health, our landfills, and the most vulnerable populations among us.
Join us as we recognize and honor a significant day in environmental efforts: Earth Day. This monumental day allows us a chance to celebrate the meaningful work that we do day in and day out and the victories that we have achieved in protecting the places we love and share.
Come raise a glass with us at this casual gathering and commemorate with fellow MountainTrue supporters and staff.
