March brings unstable weather in the mountains, but it can also ushers in occasional springlike conditions. A pair of events at the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest will give folks an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. 

At 9 a.m. March 19, workers and volunteers will apply cold patch to entrance roads, as well as linseed oil to the kiosk. There will also be other projects available. The work session will end with a hotdog lunch.

At 10 a.m. March 28, hikers will gather across the street from Fontana Village’s Pitstop Gas Station for a history hike. Bring water, as well as snacks and lunch.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. 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. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
