The air felt cold and sharp, and the sky was turning a milky white that blended into the fog, making the mountains vibrant with their red and brown leaves. This was my first time on this trail and my first time meeting Erin, a profound nature appreciator who embodies the practice of that appreciation at every level of her life. Erin also worked at Dogwood Alliance in its early days and created our first newsletter originally called, Understories.
Asheville Grit and Dogwood Alliance are proud to present Kathryn Keeper’s “Hypermetropia,” the third runner-up in our inaugural flash writing contests on the theme of Southern forests.
Dogwood Alliance is celebrating its 20th Anniversary of Southern forest protection with a fun and exciting storytelling and music festival! This free festival is great for the whole family with live music, renowned storytellers, games, yoga, kids’ activities, and more!
Dogwood Alliance is so excited to welcome, Nicole Townsend, to our team!
Sleepy activism doesn’t work. We really have to be awake around here, and I don’t mind making the coffee, as everyone knows. Last week I almost embarrassed myself by asking for the autograph of a guy who owns a coffee company. Almost. That guy is Larry Larson, owner of Larry’s Coffee, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Why would I want his autograph? Pour yourself a cup of joe and I’ll tell you.
