DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, March 18th\nTime: Starting at 9:30 am\nWhere: Montreat Conference Center\nJoin Us for a Volunteer Workday at Montreat – Tuesday\, March 18th \nCome take part in a volunteer workday with the Montreat Conference Center on Tuesday\, March 18th\, focused on enhancing and restoring key areas of the Montreat trails. This collaborative effort is part of SAHC’s ongoing work to preserve the Montreat Wilderness area\, a pristine area in the Southern Appalachian Mountains known for its stunning natural beauty and rich biodiversity. \nVolunteers will play a crucial role in maintaining these trails by helping with several important tasks\, including: \n\nStair Installation: Installing pre-built stairs up the hill to improve trail access and safety.\nSign Installation: Placing trail markers to guide hikers and provide essential information about the trails.\nTrail Cleanup: Performing a second-pass brush cleanup to clear debris from areas that have already been chain-sawed\, ensuring the trails are safe and fully accessible.\n\nThe day will begin at the Montreat Conference Center\, where volunteers will be provided with light tools\, safety gear\, and instructions. A team of Montreat Conference Center members will lead the project\, offering guidance and support throughout the day. Whether you’re an experienced volunteer or new to trail work\, your help will directly contribute to maintaining the health and beauty of this cherished area. \nSAHC began protecting land at Montreat through conservation easements in 1998. Through the efforts of SAHC and volunteers like you\, we can continue to safeguard its ecosystems and ensure sustainable access for future generations. By participating in this workday\, you’ll be helping preserve the trails\, wildlife habitats\, and scenic vistas that make Montreat a beloved destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. \nWe look forward to seeing you there and working together to keep Montreat’s trails accessible and safe for all! \nRegistration for this event will close at end of day on Sunday\, March 16th. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to justin@appalachian.org. \n
