What is Asheville GreenWorks?
Asheville GreenWorks, an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, is a volunteer-based, environmental organization working to achieve a clean and green Asheville and Buncombe County through community organizing, educating and stewardship.
We seek to enhance the environment and quality of life for citizens in Asheville and Buncombe County through community based projects. With more than 400 members and thousands of volunteers, we engage the community in grassroots projects like tree planting, environmental cleanups, anti-litter and waste reduction, creation and maintenance of green spaces, playground enhancement, neighborhood beautification and care and preservation of Asheville’s rivers and trees. Through our work, Asheville has been designated as a Tree City USA for the past 33 years. Asheville GreenWorks depends on Volunteers to keep Asheville and Buncombe clean & green. Be one of the tens of thousands of volunteers that have gotten "Dirty for a Great Cause!"
With the number of projects we have available, you can work when your schedule permits, create a custom outing or join in a group event. If you’re interested in getting involved in one of our projects, please e-mail: volunteer@ashevillegreenworks.org 828-254-1776. |
