Join us for an inspiring evening of storytelling, resilience, and environmental restoration.
This special screening features a series of short films produced by PBS NC that shine a light on our region’s rivers and the communities working to protect them. From disaster response to long-term conservation, these powerful stories highlight what it means to build a safer, more sustainable future.
One film follows MountainTrue in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene as they responded to the dramatic transformation of the Green River and distributed well testing kits to local residents. Another explores how Conserving Carolina is restoring natural floodplains, a type of work that not only reduces flood risk but also revives vital wildlife habitats. One of these restored areas is in a neighborhood built by Henderson County & Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity, providing both protection and a peaceful green space for residents.
Following the screening (just under an hour), stay for a 30-minute panel discussion featuring representatives from MountainTrue, Conserving Carolina, and Henderson County & Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity. They’ll answer your questions and share more about the work being done to make our communities stronger and more resilient.
