Small, seasonal, and worth showing up for.

We organize hikes on protected properties, stewardship workdays, informal talks on conservation topics, and our Annual Gathering each October.

Most of what we do gets announced two to four weeks out. The best way to not miss anything is to subscribe to our newsletter. We'll come to you.

  • Guided hikes on private, protected land

  • Stewardship workdays: invasive removal, stream monitoring

  • Evening talks: easements, native plants, watershed health

  • Annual Gathering each October for the whole community

The Bluet Challenge

The Bluet Challenge invites you to experience a taste of the Southern Appalachian region while learning more about the landscapes, communities, and natural resources that make it special.
