Come out and plant trees along the Noli with us Oct. 25 in Greene County! Please share this volunteer opportunity with friends.

🌊 The Nolichucky River needs us.

Tropical Storm Helene tore through Greene County, washing out riverbanks, destroying wildlife habitat, and stripping away the natural vegetation that keeps our water clean.

On Saturday, October 25, Green Interchange is leading a community tree planting along the Nolichucky River to restore a 5-acre conservation site. 🌱

Together, we’ll:
✅ Rebuild lost habitat for birds and wildlife
✅ Stabilize and protect the riverbank
✅ Filter runoff to improve water quality

💪 This is our chance to give back to the river that gives so much. Join us in planting hope, one tree at a time.

📩 Be sure you’re subscribed to our newsletter so you don’t miss updates on this project and future volunteer opportunities!

Permit denied! Reclamation plan due mid-Sep.

The Mitchell County operation only formally sought a permit after state regulators discovered that it was already operating illegally.

David Crockett Birthplace State Park has completed a walkway down to the river! Most accesses on the river remain closed or open with limited access, but this is exciting! A a reminder, you can see which accesses are open, closed, or in-between on our website nolialliance.org.

Thanks Kevin at American Whitewater, Patrick at SELC and many others for continuing to keep folks informed and organized. It's pretty frustrating that with both the railroad rebuild and this mine, much of the damage was done by the time any sort of accountability began to take shape. We can do better.

The primary advocate for the preservation and protection of whitewater rivers throughout the United States and connects the interests of human-powered recreational river users with ecological and science-based data to achieve goals within our mission.

If you, too, think CSX should do more to restore the Noli, don't forget to submit your comments to USACE by Aug. 17. You'll find draft text and contact info further down on our page. It's only takes a few minutes, and it really does make a difference.

Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters fundamentally changed a lot about the Nolichucky River. For the many people who rely on the river gorge, its recovery is front and center.
