With a new trail currently under construction, another new trail construction project put out to bid, and the TPC trail crew out daily clearing trail, digging tread, and building trail bridges, July has been a busy and exciting month on the Pisgah.

With the project list finalized, we are ready to hit the ground running this Saturday for Pisgah Project Day 2023! It is sure to be a great day for all involved as well as for the Pisgah Ranger District itself, with 27 projects planned to provide direct benefit and improvement to Pisgah Forest’s trails, waters, and ecological communities.
Here are some highlights from the project list to give us a taste of the great things to come this Saturday:
Trails Corner—3-15-23
Now a tradition stretching over 10 years, this past month saw the return of volunteers from the Conservative Anabaptist Service Program (CASP) to the Pisgah Ranger District. CASP provides alternative places of employment for conscientious objectors to serve in lieu of selective service. Bringing together young men from across the country, CASP has provided the Pisgah with skilled labor, dedication, and service since their first project on the district back in 2009.
Trails Corner — 2/15/23 Clean-Up Work
February greetings to you all from the trails of the Pisgah! With big views of ridges through the leafless trees, warming weather, and the first signs of seasonal growth, now is a great time to enjoy the trails, rivers, and mountains of Pisgah. We at TPC have been busy tackling trail projects, planning for the coming year, and looking forward to Pisgah Project Day 2023 coming up Saturday, April 22nd.

As always, the coming of the new year offers a great opportunity to celebrate the collaborations, accomplishments, and achievements of the passing year and look ahead toward what is to come. In that spirit, I will eschew my typical narrative update of TPC project activities to highlight the best of 2022 and projects to come in 2023.
