The N.C. Cooperative Extension, Transylvania County Center and Conserving Carolina are offering a series of lectures, field trips, and service days to better acquaint the public with the French Broad River, considered one of the oldest rivers in the world, and give you ways to explore and act on its behalf.

The series is divided into 5 topics – March – June; each topic will have lecture (LEARN), field trip (EXPLORE), and service day (ACT) components. Lectures will be presented by local experts, authors, and scientists. Field trips will highlight the topics introduced by the speakers, and service days will act upon those topics.

The second part of our series: EXPLORE Guided Geology of Waterfalls Hike at DuPont SRF!

Join Education Outreach Coordinator Katelyn Keller for a guided hike to two of the most beautiful waterfalls in DuPont State Recreational Forest, and discover how the unique geology of the French Broad River’s watershed determines the shape of these falls. Be prepared to hike up to 2 miles on uneven and steep surfaces, and please bring drinking water and a snack if you like.

Registration is required and space is limited, reserve your spot here. Please contact Kim Gundler at [email protected] with any questions.
