We invite you to join us for a memorial hike to honor and remember our friend Bill Popper and his dedication to preserving the 573-acre property in Yancey County that he loved so much. This hike is a perennial favorite, taking participants through our Price’s Creek Preserve with numerous wildflowers this time of year, including May Apples, Blood Root, Lark Spur, and much more. We will hike through mature northern hardwood forest and make our way to a lovely spot on Price’s Creek for lunch, then loop back to the beginning, all the while enjoying the flowery splendor of Mother Nature!
We will be carpooling to the Price’s Creek Preserve. If you are willing to be a driver, please let me know in the comments section of your registration. If you would like to learn more about Bill Popper and his passion for this land that he loved, please read our recent memorial here.
NOTE: Due to limited parking availability, we will be hard capping this hike at 11 participants. Please register each party member individually to ensure we do not go over this number.
If you have any questions, please reach out to katie@appalachian.org.
This hike is currently full. If you would like to be added to the waitlist, please send your name, email, phone number, and emergency contact to katie@appalachian.org. Thank you for being interested in hiking with us!
