From a Western North Carolina Alliance press release:
Come paddle—and plant live trees—with the French Broad Riverkeeper
ASHEVILLE — Western North Carolina Alliance needs volunteers to paddle with our French Broad Riverkeeper and plant live trees along the riverbank as we go. Each tree we plant will help to restore the bank’s stability and prevent sediment erosion into the French Broad River.
This “live-staking” outing will be 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on Dec. 17 (inclement weather date is Dec. 18). No experience is necessary. WNCA will provide the boats (but if you have your own, you’re welcome to bring it), trees and tools. Just bring yourself and your lunch — and please wear what you need to be comfortable for a day on the river.
The outing will start at Headwaters Outfitters, located at 25 Parkway Road in Rosman. We’ll shuttle from there to the river put-in. If you want to join us or want more information, please contact Assistant French Broad Riverkeeper Anna Alsobrook at Anna@WNCA.org. You may also call her at (828) 258-8737, ext. 212.
