FIND FRIENDSHIP AND FULFILLMENT WHILE HELPING THE EARTH
Join us every other Thursday from 9am-12pm to make friends and challenge your muscles while enjoying WNC’s beautiful scenery! Whether it’s building bridges and maintaining trails on one of our preserves or removing invasive species and planting trees on an easement property, volunteering with Mainspring will give you a chance to explore, protect, and restore the well-known spots and hidden gems of this region. There are opportunities to use all sorts of fun tools, from chainsaws to sledgehammers to good old fashioned elbow grease!
Location and duties vary per workday. To receive regular emails about the details of upcoming workdays, please fill out our volunteer form. This month, we will meet at Onion Mountain II (address: 3574 Ellijay Road, Franklin) to put up the last trails signs on the Kelder’s Klimb trail. Our goal will be to have all the trail signs up by noon! There will be a good bit of uphill hiking required for this project, so make sure you have the right shoes, plenty of water, and layers. As usual, Mainspring will provide all tools and snacks. But, if you have a drill of your own that you are able to bring, please do so!
Want to help protect the special places we know and love, but aren’t sure you’re up for digging in the dirt? We have indoor, low-exertion volunteer opportunities too! Check them out here.
To inquire about this workday, email Skye.
