Big Creek Wildflower Hike with Carolina Mountain Club and MountainTrue Biologist Josh Kelly

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. 

Lunch and Learn with MountainTrue: Single-Use Plastics in Asheville, NC

Green Sage Cafe 633A Merrimon Ave, Asheville, NC

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.
