SUMMARY:2023 Pop-up Volunteer Event SAHC Community Farm!
DESCRIPTION:Location: 180 Mag Sluder Rd\, Alexander\, NC 28701\nDate: Wednesday\, August 2nd\nStart time: 1:00pm\n  \nThe Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy’s Community Farm is in a quick search for volunteers to help move 8 tons of stone and harvesting garlic\, on Wednesday August 2nd! This pop-up volunteer event was initiated after 8 tons of stone was recently dropped off at our Education Center and we need to move it quickly before upcoming events happening at the Community Farm. Simultaneously\, the garlic that was panted last year at the farm is ready for harvest! Harvesting garlic is a fun process of getting your hands dirty and helping secure healthy food for our local community. \nIf planning to attend\, please come prepared with closed toed shoes\, long pants\, a water bottle\, sun protection\, and a pack lunch. There is running water and flushing bathrooms at the Education Center where we will be working. The Community Farm is also particularly scenic\, it never hurts to bring your camera! \nIf you are available to help us at the SAHC Community Farm on Wednesday\, August 2nd\, please fill out the form below or reach out to Chris Link directly for more info or questions\, chris@appalachian.org. \n  \nOops!

SUMMARY:2023 Strawberry Gap to Blue Ridge Pastures
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, August 25th\nTime: 10:30am\nWhere: Strawberry Gap to Blue Ridge Pastures\nDistance: 6 miles\nDifficulty: Moderately strenuous (7/10)\nCost: Free for Members. $10 for non-members.\nJoin Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy on August 25th for a hike to Blue Ridge Pastures via the new Strawberry Gap Trail. Participants will hike a moderately strenuous 6 mile out-and-back through a beautiful forest while taking in sweeping views of Fairview\, NC before arriving at the remote Blue Ridge Pastures. \nStrawberry Gap is the newest trail in the stunning Upper Hickory Nut Gorge trail network–just opened in September 2022! The trail climbs upward for three miles through beautiful\, boulder-strewn forests. About halfway up\, a rock outcrop offers sweeping views over a picturesque valley and range upon range of distant\, blue mountains. The climax of this trail is Blue Ridge Pastures\, where the forests give way to a ridgeline pasture\, revealing dramatic views of the Hickory Nut Gorge\, Bearwallow Mountain\, Little Pisgah Mountain\, and in the distance the highest mountains in the eastern United States.  \nThis trail is made possible through a partnership between two local land trusts–Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy (SAHC) and Conserving Carolina. SAHC owns Strawberry Gap Preserve and worked with multiple private landowners to protect this beautiful mountain land with conservation easements. Conserving Carolina then built the trail\, which connects to Trombatore Trail at Blue Ridge Pastures. This brings us to more than 16 miles of connected trails in the Upper Hickory Nut Gorge!  \n*Please note that Strawberry Gap passes through privately owned land and dogs are not allowed on this trail.  \nCost – $10 or Free to Members. Pre-registration is required. \nRegistration FULL\nThank you for your interest in this hike; however\, this hike is currently full. If you would like to be added to a wait list for this hike\, please email hike leader AmeriCorps Community Engagement and Education member Katie Greer at katie@appalachian.org.
