• 🎥 We’re super stoked to help sponsor the • 🎥 We’re super stoked to help sponsor the screening of “The River Runs On” for our partner the ‘Carolina Climbers Coalition’ . . . we hope you can join us & learn how our maintained trail systems within the National Forest are just one part of the overall plan. This thought-provoking documentary follows dedicated conservationists as they navigate the challenges of managing these vital forests. Dive into the heart of the Pisgah-Nantahala Forest plan, a crucial blueprint that will shape the future of these national treasures for the next two decades.
Prepare to be inspired as “The River Runs On” invites us to reflect on our connection with nature & our responsibility in preserving our lands. It’s a powerful meditation on the delicate balance between human intervention & the preservation of our natural heritage.
• After the film, we’re thrilled to host a panel discussion featuring local experts who will shed light on the intricacies of the Pisgah-Nantahala Forest Plan. Engage in a meaningful conversation & gain valuable insights into the future of these forests.
