High Country TU Volunteer Work Day - Tree Planting

Join us as we plant native potted trees along Hardin Creek. The project will take place along the Boone Greenway extension near the Watauga High School soccer field. Parking is available near WHS tennis courts. Closer parking is in the works and if available will be announced on our social media feeds. 

Trout Unlimited has planted and distributed more than 3,500 trees in areas impacted by Hurricane Helene, and will plant and distribute more than 10,000 additional trees in 2026. The Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Tree Recovery program, aims to replace trees in communities affected by natural disasters throughout the United States. The program has helped distribute more than 5.3 million trees since its inception in 2005. Working with Trout Unlimited, the planting will help restore streambanks damaged by flooding, reduce erosion and enhance habitat for local wildlife.
