Our public lands in Transylvania County are composed of a dense population of wildlife, overflowing waterfalls, lush greenery, secret forest nooks, and incredible vistas. ⁣

Explore Brevard and Transylvania Always are proud

Explore Brevard and Transylvania Always are proud to partner with and support our national and state parks and forests in making “Leave It Better” top of mind for all our local residents and visitors. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Pisgah District Ranger Dave Casey tells us why your help is so important to the health of our natural environment. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Millions of visitors enjoy the public lands here in Transylvania County each year. High visitation can result in a lot of trash being left behind in our forests and streams. On the Pisgah, it’s not uncommon for our employees, partners and volunteers to collect hundreds of pounds of trash on any given day. This ranges from food containers, drink bottles, diapers, abandoned camping equipment and anything else you can imagine. This trash degrades everyone’s experience in these mountains and can have negative impacts on animals and aquatic life. Please help us steward these lands by using trash receptacles or taking your trash with you. This simple act shows respect for our public lands and the other folks that use it.”⁣⁣
