Student Event Volunteers Needed

October 4
Four Volunteers Hours

Fourth-graders will hike a popular moderate trail with steep inclines to arrive at the 360 degree summit. The trail can be rocky, wet, and have tree roots. Expect to hike 4 miles.

October 26 & 27
Eight Volunteer Hours

Eighth-graders will sample water quality at the most used refill streams along our trail. The hike is easy to moderate with a moderate incline. Expect to hike 5 miles over 2 days, no overnight is required for this two-day activity. If one day is what you can give, it will certainly help.

April 2025
More details to be announced.

Work with eighth-graders on activities that may span 4 days and expect to volunteer a minimum of 6 hours. The land is flat to slight hilly. Plan to walk at least one mile per day.

NHC Volunteers routinely lead hikes and inspire students to become a vital protector of the natural world, which is as close as the Nantahala Forest. This fall is packed with opportunities to show students ways to Leave No Trace while enjoying nature.

A background check is required by the U.S. Forest Service before volunteering with student groups. To volunteer, contact Pam Addleton at [email protected] at least 2 weeks before the scheduled event.
