HIGH COUNTRY — Many organizations throughout Western North Carolina have been busy with Helene recovery clean-ups, and the New River Conservancy is no exception.

Early in November, NRC, along with several other partners, including Keep Ashe Beautiful, River Girl, several chapters of Trout Unlimited, and volunteers from North Carolina Land & Water Fund in Raleigh, came together to clean up parts of the New River in Watauga County and Big Horse Creek in Ashe County, NC.
