Hemlock Restoration
Please note that the times listed are uncertain
Hello paddlers,
Join us to treat hemlocks on the Upper section of the Green River (class III+) on Sunday, May 5 and/or Saturday, May 25 and become a member of the Paddlers Hemlock Health Action Taskforce (PHHAT).
This collaboration between the Hemlock Restoration Initiative, American Whitewater, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, and MountainTrue’s Green Riverkeeper utilizes experienced whitewater paddlers to treat trees along the Green River. Many of the trees along the Green have already been treated and now are flourishing. Some trees are now due for retreatment as initial treatments were performed in 2017 and are starting to wear off.
If you are an experienced paddler who is interested in participating as a PHHAT volunteer this spring, please carefully read the information on this page of our website and fill out the form linked to at the bottom of the page.
We hope to see you on the water this May to help keep the Green River hemlocks green!
Sincerely,
Thom Green

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
