In 2019, the Hiwassee River Watershed Coalition merged with MountainTrue to become its Western Regional Office. MountainTrue’s Western Regional Office partners with and serves communities in Western North Carolina’s Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, and Swain counties, as well as Towns and Union counties in North Georgia. The Western Region Team manages the following programs and events:

• Carson Conservation Scholarship
• Fall Native Tree and Shrub Sale
• Hiwassee Watershed Gala
• Lake Chatuge Watershed Action Plan
• Swim Guide

We have many regular volunteer opportunities throughout the warmer months – visit our events calendar to view upcoming volunteer opportunities. ​Please note that volunteer event dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions with short notice.
