Plant trees in Bryson City

Plant trees in Bryson City

Help MountainTrue plant more than 2,500 new native plants at Bryson City Island Park during volunteer workdays 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, and Wednesday, Feb. 14.

In case of bad weather, a rain day will be held Saturday, Feb. 10.

Volunteers will help install both live stake and rooted tree and shrub material for bank stabilization, wildlife habitat and beautification as the next step in the Island Park Bank Restoration Project. Gloves and tools are provided but volunteers are welcome to bring their own shovels, gloves or other digging tools. Volunteers should also have closed-toed shoes, long pants, warm layers, water and snacks.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
