Ever traveled to Pisgah National Forest? It’s a paradise for outdoors enthusiasts. Whitewater rivers, waterfalls, and hundreds of miles of forested trails make the 2+ hour road trip from Charlotte worth the drive.

Fun fact: Pisgah is among the favorite hiking spots surrounding the Queen City.

Despite more than 10 million annual visitors, critical funding has fallen short to ensure the forest’s longevity. That’s where The Pisgah Conservancy steps in. The nonprofit works with the US Forest Service to provide key resources to preserve Pisgah for its guests.

Curious to learn more? The Pisgah Conservancy is hosting a “get to know us” event on Tuesday, Oct. 29 at Birdsong Brewing Co.. Guests can enjoy a free first round of drinks from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m and learn about how to better support public lands + the aftermath of Helene.

Editor’s note: Several Pisgah campgrounds have reopened following the hurricane.
