The Pisgah Conservancy (TPC) is pleased to announce a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the conclusion of the Joel Branch – Horse Cove Connector Trail Project.  The ceremony will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Friday July 9 at the start of U.S. Forest Service Road 5002.

Directions to the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

From the intersection of NC 280 and US 276/64 (which is just northwest of Brevard) go west into Pisgah National Forest approximately 1.25 miles.  Turn left toward the Davidson River Campground.  Immediately cross the bridge over the Davidson River.  Turn left on Sycamore Circle (do not turn right into the campground).  Continue on Schenck Drive, and follow the signs to the ribbon cutting.

Joel Branch – Horse Cove Connector Trail Project

Location.  The new trail is in the Pisgah Ranger District of Pisgah National Forest at the end of Joel Branch Road (NFSR5002) just off the Art Loeb Trail near Stony Knob.  It links Joel Branch Road and Horse Cove Road (NFSR475C).

Rationale for Project.  Constructing this trail provides connectivity between the entrance area of the Pisgah Ranger District (Davidson River Campground, Pisgah Ranger Station, Estatoe Trail, etc.), the N.C. Wildlife Education Center, and the City of Brevard’s Bracken Mountain Trail System and Urban Greenway Trail System.  Combining these trails provides a 25-mile loop trail opportunity for hikers and bikers, with equestrian access on a significant portion of the route.

“This trail project offers a unique opportunity,” said Pisgah District Ranger, Dave Casey.  “By adding 1.2 miles of new trail we have been able to open up 25 miles of access for hikers and bikers, and a significant section of trail for equestrians.  We also believe this project will reduce unauthorized bike and horse traffic on the Art Loeb Trail, which is reserved for hiking only.”

Character of Trail. “Anywhere in Pisgah has its steep, rocky sections, and so does this trail,” says trail builder Ed Sutton of Trail Dynamics.  “But this is more of a wide, rolling trail than a steep, technical one like you find in some parts of Pisgah.  This trail provides a nice long route.  It gives you a backcountry feel even though you are near to town, and it can be ridden by gravel bikes as well as mountain bikes.  Our team loved biking to work each day on this beautiful new trail.”

Importance to Local Residents and Tourism.  “This trail is an example of the kinds of projects we embrace at Transylvania County Tourism,” said Aaron Baker, Chair of the organization’s Transylvania Always Committee.  “It’s a well-designed trail that promotes the sustainable use of our natural resources by tourists and locals alike.”

“This trail is the missing link,” said Mac Morrow, Mayor Pro Tem and City Council Member of Brevard.  “Filling in this gap between trails is entirely consistent with Brevard’s long term strategy to build the tourism infrastructure of the area.  We want to connect our citizens and tourists with the incredible natural resources that surround us and enhance Brevard’s position as a leading destination for outdoor recreation.”

Persephone is 29, unemployed, broke, and trying to figure out what to do next. She’s living with her mother, who’s driving her crazy. Enter Hades – the attractive bad boy who might just offer the escape she needs. The question is – what is Persephone willing to give up for her freedom?

Sobremesa, literally “over the table,” is a word that describes the ritual of families and friends
lingering over a meal to chat — often into the early morning hours. It’s when the food coma
kicks in, but you just want to relax and be in each other’s company, occasionally picking at
leftovers or refilling your glass. In honor of Asheville’s vibrant Latinx/Hispanic community,
this event will celebrate the rich and diverse food traditions that stretch from Mexico to the
Southernmost tip of Argentina. The meal will be accompanied by a thoughtful conversation
highlighting the role of immigration in our region’s foodways with guests Marianne
Martinez, executive director of Vecinos; and Sergio Fernandez, executive director of El
Centro.

The presence of diverse and healthy pollinators like butterflies, bees, moths,
hummingbirds, and beetles is a signal that a landscape is functioning in beautiful harmony,
at its highest expression of health and diversity. Pollinators ensure the continued existence
of millions of plant species, as well as the animal species that depend on those plant
species, including humans. Many pollinator populations are in decline, attributed to the
mismanagement of the dynamic ecosystems that support our planet—pollution, the
misuse of chemicals, disease, and changes in climatic patterns are all examples of what
is causing shrinking and shifting pollinator populations. It’s time for a metamorphosis in
the way land is honored as a whole. Join Chow Chow and Kim Bailey, founder of Milkweed
Meadows Farm and Phyllis Stiles, founder and director emerita of Bee City USA for a
pollinator centered experience. From the farm fields to the forested mountaintops we
invite you to an inventive dining experience that imagines the bravery of metamorphosis,
and the synergy and abundance of intricate life that is supported when we honor the
ecology of the land.
