Activities and Events

Small, seasonal, and worth showing up for.

There’s always something happening in the conservation community, from ribbon cuttings and supporter gatherings to hikes, stewardship workdays, and informal talks. We bring people together throughout the year to explore protected properties, learn about conservation, celebrate the people who make this work possible, and connect with one another.

Most events are announced two to four weeks out. The best way to not miss anything is to subscribe to our newsletter. We’ll come to you.

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.
