AB Tech Volunteer Day

Construction is nearing completion on our wetland project at AB-Tech. RiverLink is delighted to continue our work to develop wetlands to create habitat for native plant and animal species, filter rainwater before it reaches our rivers and streams, and slow water to reduce flash flooding. We will work to create native species diversity and prepare the land for public access. If you are interested in making an impact in the community and on the French Broad River, please join us for these workdays.

We will meet at the the parking lot at AB-Tech Walking Trail – 39 Fernihurst Dr. Asheville,NC 28801.

RiverLink will provide all necessary tools and equipment. Closed-toed shoes are required and pants are recommended. We also recommend everyone bring a water bottle and gardening gloves if you have them, but we will also provide gloves if needed. Please be aware that we will be hiking up to a quarter mile over uneven terrain to get to the work site. We won’t be getting in the wetlands, but we may be crossing a small stream, so wear shoes that are waterproof or that you don’t mind getting wet.

Please contact volunteer@riverlink.org if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

Please note that all volunteer events are weather dependent. Our staff will send out an email a day in advance if we need to cancel the event due to weather.
