Help clean up your favorite hiking spot. Through a partnership with the US Forest Service, The Pisgah Conservancy is hosting its annual Pisgah Project Day on Saturday, April 26.
The event harnesses volunteer help to finish more than 20 improvement projects in the Pisgah Ranger District before visitation peaks from May to October — and this year’s event is all the more meaningful as work continues to restore the forest from Helene’s devastation.
Projects include trail maintenance, fence repair, invasive plant removal, trash clean up, native planting, and gardening, all with guidance from Pisgah Conservancy and USFS staff. Pick your project preference and share special skills when you register.
Last year, 425+ volunteers completed 25 projects during the one-day cleanup. Volunteers even began a multi-phase rehabilitation project on the Estatoe trail, which wrapped up just over a week ago.
Register for this year’s Pisgah Project Day by Monday, April 21.. Once the day’s work wraps up, raise a glass at the after-party at Oskar Blues Brewery.
