SUMMARY:Great Buzz Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Step Into the World of Pollinators at the 6th Annual Great Buzz Gathering! \nImagine a world without vibrant blooms\, flourishing crops\, or thriving wildlife. That’s the reality we face without pollinators—the tiny but mighty creatures essential to life on Earth. On Saturday\, February 15\, you’re invited to the Grey Eagle Music Hall & Pub in Asheville to celebrate these unsung heroes and explore how we can all play a part in their conservation. \nFrom the moment you step through the doors\, you’ll be immersed in a community united by a passion for biodiversity\, native plants\, and protecting pollinators. Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or just beginning to appreciate the beauty of bees\, butterflies\, and beyond\, this event offers something for everyone. \nYou’ll enjoy five captivating 10-minute talks from experts on topics like the effects of climate change on pollinators\, the best trees to plant for recovery after Tropical Storm Helene\, and exciting updates on the Asheville Butterfly Trail. Each presentation promises to leave you informed\, inspired\, and ready to take action. \nCome early to explore exhibitor tables filled with resources\, tips\, and tools to make your garden\, neighborhood\, or community a haven for pollinators. Grab a bite or a beverage\, connect with like-minded attendees\, and soak up the buzz of excitement. \nPollinators are more than just insects; they’re the foundation of ecosystems and essential to our survival. Yet\, nearly half of them are at risk of extinction. That’s why Bee City USA\, founded here in Asheville\, has grown to a nationwide movement of 426 affiliates\, all dedicated to safeguarding these vital creatures. \nThis isn’t just another event—it’s a call to action\, a chance to learn\, connect\, and make a tangible impact on the future of our planet. \nSo\, whether you’re passionate about gardening\, fascinated by biodiversity\, or simply curious about how to help\, this is your opportunity to join the movement. Together\, let’s create a world where pollinators—and all life—can thrive. \nDoors open at 12 PM for lunch and networking. The program begins at 1 PM. \nWe can’t wait to see you there!

SUMMARY:Hemlock Hike at DuPont State Recreational Forest

The hike is about 3.5 miles total round-trip\, and is considered easy to moderate terrain. \nWe will walk along the Three Lakes Trail and Conservation Road.

We will pass through active research plots and discuss the work that is being done to find the best way(s) to protect our hemlocks for years to come.  \nPlease note that although the trail is open and clear\, some overhead hazards remain present. \nWe’ll meet at the DSRF visitors center. More information about the meeting location and what to bring will be provided after registering. \nFor any questions or to register\, contact Olivia Hall at education@savehemlocksnc.org or 828-252-4783.

SUMMARY:Comedy for Community supporting Helpmate
DESCRIPTION:Locals supporting locals is the heart of Asheville.\nComedy for Community brings all your favorite local comedians together each week at Catawba Brewing to support the town we love through a variety of local charities and organizations. This month we are supporting Helpmate!\nCome laugh and learn and support your neighbors. \nHelpmate began as a task force of the Buncombe County Commission on the Status of Women in 1978. Our mission and goals have been consistent ever since; to support survivors\, educate our community about healthy relationships and to create systems that are responsive to survivors’ needs. Helpmate was incorporated in 1981 and staffed by volunteer advocates who established a safe house network. Among our first volunteer advocates was former Representative Wilma Sherrill\, who was later instrumental in reforming NC’s domestic violence laws. \nOur emergency shelter program started with a small apartment in 1981 and a second apartment a year later. In 1985\, we bought a house and replaced with a larger home 5 years later. During this period\, Helpmate was instrumental in the formation of additional organizations serving local victims\, including the former Interlace transitional housing program and My Sister’s Place in Madison County. Helpmate became established as a statewide leader in the work to address violence against women\, and was among the first members of the NC Coalition Against Domestic Violence. \nIn 2006\, Helpmate launched a capital campaign to purchase our current emergency shelter\, which houses 225 adult and child victims who are in imminent danger each year. In the years since\, we have seen remarkable growth. We helped lead a systemic overhaul in 2013\, which helped survivors access Helpmate’s services in record numbers. Helpmate now serves 80% more victims\, answers triple the number of hotline calls and forms 5 times as many safety plans as we did in 2012. The most visible evidence of this collaboration is the Buncombe County Family Justice Center\, which co-locates advocates\, law enforcement\, prosecution\, child protection\, legal aid\, childcare and medical services into one safe location. We also now offer several collaborative evidence-based programs\, such as the Lethality Assessment Protocol\, in which law enforcement connects victims to our hotline immediately from crime scenes. We also offer Safe and Together\, a program with Child Protective Services to respond to co-occurring domestic violence and child maltreatment. \nWe believe in the power of prevention to save lives. Helpmate has worked with Our VOICE\, Mountain Child Advocacy Center\, Pisgah Legal Services\, and a community-based task force to implement the Pathways to Prevention Plan. The Plan is the first of its type in NC\, using CDC-endorsed strategies to prevent domestic violence\, sexual assault and child maltreatment. We aim to teach residents of Buncombe County how to form healthy relationships\, resolve conflicts without violence\, and respect boundaries so that we end the cycle of domestic violence. \nDoors: 6 PM\nShow: 6:30 PM\nTickets: $15.00\nPREMIUM SEATING: $20.00\nAges 16+\nDogs Welcome\nSEATED SHOW
