French Broad River Clean-up with MountainTrue and their Riverkeeper Beer Series

June 28, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
MountainTrue Riverkeeper Beer Series Clean-up

Our region’s rivers were heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, and with breweries playing a key role in our tourism economy, Conserving Carolina, MountainTrue, the French Broad Riverkeeper, and Oskar Blues are teaming up to help restore our waterways.

Join us on June 28 for a river cleanup! We’ll head out for an on-the-water cleanup, then return to the brewery to celebrate with beer and prizes.

We encourage folks to bring their own boats to clean-up but, MountainTrue can provide a spot on a boat for 20 people if you don’t have one. Please make sure you bring a PFD if you bring your own boat.

Please click here to reserve your spot in a MountainTrue boat.

All participants, regardless of whether borrowing a boat or bringing their own, MUST pre-register so we can adhere to safety standards.

Meet-up location: Pisgah Forest River Access (3520 Wilson Rd, Pisgah Forest, NC 28768).
Shuttling info: Everyone will meet at Pisgah Forest River Access at 1:00 PM and be shuttled to the put-in at Hap Simpson Park.

All volunteers are eligible to receive a complimentary annual membership to MountainTrue. Please email members@mountaintrue.org to request yours!

Kids under the age of 18 are welcome as long as accompanied by a parent or guardian AND they feel comfortable in a boat for several hours.

A HUGE thank you to Oskar Blues, Eno and Recover brands for sponsoring this event!
