Hoppy Water Wednesday with Asheville GreenWorks
Join Blue Ghost Strength + Yoga volunteering with Asheville GreenWorks! https://dash.pointapp.org/events/550510
Location TBD
Come to Pick Up Litter then stick around and get Hoppy with us at one of our local Breweries.
This volunteer opportunity is reoccurring every other Wednesday.
With your help, Asheville GreenWorks is systematically removing thousands of pounds of litter and keeping it out of our waterways. Together we help create healthier communities and cleaner water for everyone from the newts to our neighbors. Thank you for helping us move forward towards a climate resilient future for all!
***Project locations and recommended post cleanup hangout locations will change. Please see reminder emails to verify address before traveling to the site.
What will volunteers do?
During these projects volunteers will be removing litter from Buncombe County creeks and surrounding areas.
We will be focusing on waterways and areas impacted by Tropical Storm Helene. We will be walking in the creeks, the work will be dirty, challenging, and rewarding! We will spend 2 hours removing litter. Then, those who want to stick around will make their way to the suggested establishment for a celebratory beverage.
*Please note that Asheville GreenWorks (AGW) does not purchase or provide alcoholic beverages for volunteers at our events. The post cleanup gatherings are merely a suggestion and are not facilitated or managed by AGW.*
