Volunteer: Round Bald Rubus Round Up
Jul 15 @ 9:30 am
Carvers Gap on Roan Mountain

volunteers mowing

Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy needs volunteers to help remove Canada Blackberry (Rubus canadensis) and other woody vegetation from Round Bald. Volunteers will help hand-mow brushy areas (using weed-whackers) to maintain globally rare, grassy habitat atop the balds.
We are planning two workdays on July 15th and 16th (rain date TBD), meeting at Carver’s Gap at 9:30 am.
This is a great chance to learn about what SAHC does to manage these rare habitats, without the commitment of a long hike in. In general, we will be working within less than a 0.25 mile from the parking area. We encourage anyone who is new to conservation or to the Roan to join us for these events (Free T-shirt included!).
Volunteers should bring water and lunch, leather work gloves and eye protection. SAHC will provide cutting equipment and individually packaged ear protection.
This work is especially important this year, as a campfire caused a winter “grass fire” on Round Bald. Because of this, it is imperative that (after we take data) we concentrate our efforts on mowing that area this year.

Volunteer: Grassy Ridge Mow-Off
Jul 24 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy
Grassy Ridge volunteer

We need YOUR help on the mountain! Grassy Ridge Mow-Off, July 23-24th

Camp out or come for a day. Join other volunteers as we work to maintain the globally rare grassy and shrub balds found on Grassy Ridge, one of the most beautiful and ecologically significant sites in the Roan Highlands. We’ll cut invasive blackberries and other shrubs using weed whackers and brush cutters. Enjoy great company and great job satisfaction! Our annual Grassy Ridge Mow-Off is more than just a work day — it’s an incredible way to experience the Highlands of Roan and to share cherished moments with friends.

Backpackers and day trippers are both welcome.

We are also pleased to announce that in 2022, we will have car camping available at our Little Rock Creek Preserve (a 10 min drive from Carver’s Gap) for volunteers who are interested in coming out and camping nearby, but are not interested in backpack camping on Grassy Ridge. Please indicate your interest in either backpack camping or car camping on your registration, as this will help us plan staff and resources.

The hike to Grassy Ridge is about 2.5 miles one way, the views are gorgeous, and we have a job suited to almost everyone. There are several different ways to help: flagging rare plants, cutting or raking blackberries, camp organization, taking photographs, and more.

Grassy Ridge Mow-Off  Planned Schedule:

Saturday, 8:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Campers arrive, set up your tent and return to the work site.

Saturday, 10:00 a.m. Day hikers arrive. Sign in/Orientation

Saturday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Work time! (lunch break at 1 pm)

Saturday 4:00 p.m. – bedtime. Clean up and store equipment. Fun and Fellowship for campers!

Sunday 7:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. A short work day and pack out. *Everyone should be prepared to pack out group trash.

SCORE volunteers do many things to help entrepreneurs. Here are some examples:
·        Business Mentor – Directly advising and supporting small business owners and would-be entrepreneurs
·        Subject Matter Expert – Supporting both mentors and business owners by providing information in your area(s) of experience and expertise
  • Workshop Presenter – Delivering presentations to either in-person or online audiences on topics that will help them grow their businesses
All our volunteers help support and grow America’s Small Business community – the greatest generator of employment in the country!
