Help “rewild” Fontana Lake campsites during a volunteer workday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23, at Tsali Boat Ramp.

 

“Returning Campsites to the Wild” is an environmental rehabilitation project that addresses the problem of trashed campsites and teaches participants the importance of caring for the outdoors. Participants will clean the trash and waste left behind at informal campsites along the shores of Fontana Lake while learning about the principles of Leave No Trace.

Food and supplies will be provided, but volunteers should bring a hat, water bottle, swimsuit and towel. Organized by the Environmental Action Community of WNC through a grant from the Tennessee Valley Authority. RSVP to This email address is being protected from spambots.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
