Thanks to the always awesome Lynn Willis of High South Creative, LLC for these shots of the "Trail Daze of Summer" event with Carolina Climbers Coalition at The K**b Boulders and Nature Preserve this past weekend.
Over 40 volunteers showed up to clean rocks and trails, cut paths to boulders, climb, and celebrate afterwards in downtown Boone. Thank you to Footsloggers and Rock Dimensions Inc. for hosting the afterparty, and to On the Road and Off and Black Diamond for sponsoring.

BRC loves community support! After we introduced the Aho Branch stream restoration project, Donna Zelazny reached out to offer some extra pickerelweed and blue flag from her landscape. She dropped it off at the office, and Abbey and Wendy quickly got it planted in the new wetlands.
Big thanks to Donna, we appreciate her taking the time to help with this project!

Jumping on the "kinda chic" trend - it's kinda chic that some plants have evolved chemical defenses to survive, since they can't physically escape pests. Some of those toxic chemicals can harm unwitting humans, but which ones? 👀

Join us at SouthEnd Brewing - Boone on Wednesday, August 26 to learn about noxious natives from NC Extension Agent Paige Patterson. Show up around 6pm to grab a beer and a bite (BRC gets $1 from each beer sold during this event), and settle in to learn about the beautifully dangerous flora surrounding us. 🌿

Wetland construction is underway! This part of the restoration aims to permanently support the populations of amphibians, insects, and other critters at BRC's campus that thrive in robust, healthy wetland environments. 🐸🦐
