SUMMARY:2025 Nilsen Preserve - Volunteer Trail Workday
DESCRIPTION:Date: Friday\, December 12th\nTime: 10:30 AM\nWhere: Nilsen Cabin – Little Cove Creek Preserve\nDistance: 1-2 miles \nDifficulty: Moderate (5/10)\, various volunteer tasks available to choose from!\nRegistration: Pre-registration is REQUIRED\n  \nJoin the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy and the Roan Stewardship team for a volunteer workday at the Nilsen Cabin on our Little Cove Creek Preserve. This iconic property\, located on the Tennessee side of the Roan Highlands\, is one of our original land acquisition projects in the area. Recently\, SAHC was a recipient of a Tennessee Governor’s Response and Recovery Fund to repair the bridge and driveway into the property\, which was damaged during Hurricane Helene. Now that the construction has been completed\, we would like to celebrate by clearing brush and trees from our trails\, repairing the fence around the historic graveyard\, and other light clean up work. This will require volunteers to work with weed eaters\, hand tools\, and saws. This event will be a great opportunity to work with friends\, get your hands dirty\, see a beautiful waterfall\, and enjoy a great day outside in the Roan Highlands. We’ll have hot cider and hot cocoa for folks to warm up with! \nThis property is located just outside of Roan Mountain\, TN\, 1.5 hours northeast of Asheville\, NC and 45mins southeast of Johnson City\, TN. Driving directions will be sent to volunteers following registration. \nWhat To Bring: Close-toed shoes\, work gloves\, lunch\, water\, jacket/rain gear. Please dress in many layers\, the weather can be much cooler at this elevation during December. \nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to\, travis@appalachian.org \nTo Register for this Workday\, Fill Out Form Below:

SUMMARY:2025 December Asbury Trail Hike
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, December 13th\nTime: Starting at 10:00 AM\nWhere: Asbury Trail\nDistance: 6 miles \nDifficulty: Moderately Strenuous (6/10)\, several long\, steep inclines and descents are present on this trail.\nRegistration: Pre-registration is REQUIRED below\n  \nJoin SAHC for a guided group hike on the Asbury Trail at Cove Creek Gap along the boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This hike is a steady descent and gradually becomes steeper moving towards Cataloochee Creek. This will be an out and back hike of about 6 miles total. \nAlong this hike we will pass five SAHC protected tracts that sit between the Smokies and Pisgah National Forest buffering its boundary from incompatible real-estate development. The last property we will come across\, which we will be celebrating one year of protecting\, is the 407 acre White Oak Mountain tract on the eastern edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). Protection of this property and others buffering the park provides exceptional habitat for a variety of plant and animal species in an important corridor for wildlife movement\, scenic views from the Appalachian Trail\, and water quality in headwater tributaries of the Pigeon River watershed. \nNo dogs are allowed on this hike. \nAfter registering\, you’ll receive directions\, meeting instructions\, and other important details a couple days prior to the event date. \nIf you have any questions please email SAHC Outreach Program Manager Erin Goodpaster at erin@appalachian.org \nREGISTER HERE
