In 2019, Asheville GreenWorks engaged 3,347 volunteers in 213 projects.
That's a big deal! We love the way our community shows up to take care of our urban environment. Where do volunteers work? Public lands in Asheville and Buncombe County. Our mission is to equip and mobilize individuals to care for the places they love to live. That means greenways, parks, neighborhood roads, creeks, streams, rivers, and community orchards. You should be able to enjoy all of the places you've helped to improve! What do volunteers do? Plant trees, pull tires from waterways, remove thousands of pounds of litter from creeks and roadsides, help with recycling events, build bee habitats, and more! How can you get involved? Check out our Upcoming Events to see what public volunteer projects you can get involved in. If your business, school, church, or friend group want to organize their own project, we can do that! Just email our Community Engagement Coordinator to set something up. For corporate volunteer and alternative break groups, we ask that you consider making a donation, as this allows us to coordinate a project best suited for your group and make opportunities possible for others. Want to help but not quite ready to volunteer? Consider sponsoring an event or program or making a contribution to support Asheville GreenWorks. No matter what, you'll still get to show that you #LoveWhereYouLive.
