Cleanup after the storm<\/p><\/div>\n

By Megan Ward<\/p>\n

In the months since Hurricane Helene tore through Western North Carolina, Asheville GreenWorks has stepped into a new era of community-powered environmental recovery. What began as a grassroots response to an unprecedented crisis has evolved into one of the most robust efforts in the organization\u2019s 50\u2013plus\u2013year history.<\/p>\n

Helene delivered historic rainfall and wind damage across WNC\u2014triggering mudslides, flooding and long-term ecological disruption. The damage to Buncombe County\u2019s tree canopy was staggering\u2014early estimates suggest a loss of more than 40 percent, or roughly 822,000 trees. In response, Asheville GreenWorks dramatically expanded its tree distribution program. Since Helene, the organization has given away more than 6,000 trees to residents, community groups and municipalities working to rebuild ecological resilience while providing critical benefits to residents\u2014like shade in the face of rising temperatures. These tree giveaways are about more than just planting; they represent long-term investments in stormwater manage<\/p>\n

ment, urban cooling, wildlife habitat and air quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve never seen this level of need,\u201d says Eric Bradford, director of operations at GreenWorks. \u201cOur community is still reeling from the storm, but they\u2019re showing up, asking for trees, asking how they can help.\u201d<\/p>\n

As summer temperatures rise, the organization has temporarily paused tree distributions\u2014recognizing that trees planted in high heat often fail to thrive\u2014but will restart this fall with renewed urgency and expanded partnerships.<\/p>\n

Tree canopy loss is just one piece of the post-Helene landscape. The region\u2019s rivers and streams were hit hard by severe flooding and debris. Although Asheville GreenWorks is well\u2013known for its waterway cleanups, the scale of post\u2013storm damage has forced a shift in strategy. With contractors still working to remove large storm debris from the French Broad River and its tributaries, the nonprofit is focusing its clean-up efforts in neighboring counties\u2014bringing its tools, boats and know-how wherever it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not waiting,\u201d says Bradford. \u201cIf our gear sits in a parking lot not getting used, it\u2019s a complete waste. So we\u2019re lending it out\u2014canoes, safety gear, litter grabbers\u2014you name it.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Yancey to Henderson County, GreenWorks is empowering local volunteer groups to lead their own cleanups. This support includes not just gear, but also logistics coaching and volunteer training, drawing on the organization\u2019s decades of experience mobilizing grassroots efforts.<\/p>\n

This networked model of resilience\u2014local volunteers, regional collaboration and deep trust in community partners\u2014is what defines Asheville GreenWorks\u2019 post\u2013Helene approach. Rather than operate as a top-down nonprofit, GreenWorks acts as a conduit: delivering resources into neighborhoods, supporting mutual aid efforts and ensuring that under-resourced communities are not left behind in the long road to recovery.<\/p>\n

Even as the organization scales its efforts, it remains deeply grounded in community action. From neighborhood tree giveaways to lunchtime cleanups led by local businesses, the ethos is clear\u2014solutions must come from the ground up.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to fall 2025, Asheville GreenWorks is already planning for thousands more trees to be distributed and dozens of additional cleanups across the region. The challenges left in Helene\u2019s wake are real and ongoing. But with its nimble operations and a community-first mission, Asheville GreenWorks is helping WNC not just recover but rebuild with equity and environmental justice at the center.<\/p>\n
