Gather your favorite hiking buddy, canine or human, and explore the amazing trails in our community thanks to the work of Conserving Carolina and support two organizations at one time!
During the week of April 11-18, hit the trails that have been made possible by Conserving Carolina with your favorite two- or four-legged friend and complete additional challenges for prizes from BRHS and Conserving Carolina.
There are three hike options: Bearwallow Mountain, any segment of the Oklawaha Greenway between Jackson Park and Berkeley Mills Park, and the perimeter trail of the Park at Flat Rock.
Complete one or all of the hikes and walks and discover for yourself the work of Conserving Carolina in our community with your furry friend!

Proceeds from cards sold that day are donated directly to Blue Ridge Humane Society (BRHS) to provide funding for BRHS programs. Cards for HVL Causes are unique and thoughtful handmade greeting cards covering a wide range of occasions from Holidays, Thank You, Love and Friendship, Thinking of You, Birthday, Sympathy, and more. In addition, the limited edition BRHS Mother’s Day card will be available for purchase to honor the mothers and the people who show mom-like love.
Cards for HVL Causes was founded by Kathy Wrobel in 2019, and is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that creates handmade cards for resale that benefit select area non-profits. Kathy shares: “When I began thinking about retirement, I knew I wanted to use my card-making expertise and materials to give back in thanksgiving for all my life’s blessings.” Cards for HVL Causes was created with the model of continuous circle of giving, encompassing volunteers, non-profits, customers, card recipients, and donors.

As part of the $12 million Enka Recreation Destination project, a new off-leash dog park will be constructed near the entrance of Buncombe County Sports Park. Join the fun and help us compete for a $25,000 PetSafe® Bark for Your Park™ grant through a letter of support.
You can send your support to [email protected] or Buncombe County Recreation Services’ physical address on 46 Valley Street, Asheville, NC 28801. Make sure to let us know why the next amazing dog park in our community should be at Buncombe County Sports Park. Let us know if you live or own a business nearby and how often you visit the park. Any special requests? This is a great opportunity to include those, too.
According to a recent poll conducted by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), 9 in 10 (91 percent) Americans believe dog parks provide benefits to the communities they serve. More than half (55 percent) of park and recreation agencies currently have at least one dog park. This will be the first dog park in the Buncombe County Recreation Services system.
Americans list the top three benefits a dog park can have on a community as:
- Gives dogs a safe space to exercise and roam around freely (60 percent)
- Allows dogs to socialize with other dogs (39 percent)
- Allows owners a chance to be physically active with their pet (36 percent)
Availability of dog parks is especially popular among Millennials (94 percent) and Gen Xers (92 percent) followed by Boomers (89 percent).
