SUMMARY:Wrap the Woods
DESCRIPTION:The Save the Woods organization in Asheville\, NC\, invites volunteers\, community members\, and activists to an art action: Wrap the Woods on Saturday\, September 6\, starting at 9:30 a.m. \nSaturday\, September 6\, 2025\n
9:30 AM – Meet Time\n10-11 AM – Wrap Event\nGathering Locations TBA
 \nUNC Asheville’s 54-acre urban forest and cherished community resource and wildlife habitat (aka “The Woods”) is under threat of development despite its status as one of the last remaining urban forests in Asheville. 
\nAs part of a multi-phase plan\, UNCA proposes leasing the urban forest property to a developer who will erect a 5\,000-seat stadium along with retail shops and market-rate housing. Community members are speaking out against this plan\,  including university staff\, faculty\, and students; members of the adjacent neighborhoods\, which will be directly impacted by the development; and more than 15\,000 petition signers.

 \nHowever\, after months of community action to preserve this forest\, the university’s administration and the UNC Board of Governors refuse to change course. The Wrap The Woods event is intended to draw attention to the sheer size of the threatened acreage containing around 20\,000 trees.
