SUMMARY:We Are Not Who They Told Us We Are: Everyday People in Extraordinary Times
DESCRIPTION:“It is only for the sake of those without hope that hope is given to us.” –Walter Benjamin \nWe will engage writer\, historian\, and activist\, Rebecca Solnit and her friend Saket Soni in a discussion about recovery\, rethinking\, and rebuilding after the Hurricane Helene disaster in Western North Carolina.  We will examine this in the current context of major national and international disruption\, and the ongoing need for change in systems and how we respond to disasters.  We are looking forward to new insights and ideas that can help us effectively build a better\, more resilient and just region in the face of so much turbulence.   \nRebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books including Orwell’s Roses; Recollections of My Nonexistence; Hope in the Dark; Men Explain Things to Me; A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster; and A Field Guide to Getting Lost. Rebecca writes regularly for the Guardian\, serves on the board of the climate group Oil Change International\, and launched the climate project Not Too Late (nottoolateclimate.com). \nSaket Soni is a labor organizer and human rights strategist working at the intersection of racial justice\, migrant rights\, and climate change. He is founder and director of Resilience Force\, the voice of the rising workforce rebuilding America after climate disasters. He was profiled as an “architect of the next labor movement” in USA Today\,  chosen as a 2022-23 Aspen Institute Fellow\, and was named one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business for 2022.  \nThis event will take place on Zoom on Tuesday\, March 25th from 7-8:30PM.  You will need to register ahead of time to receive the Zoom invitation.   \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/KM2FXJGCReWNPrFK_ax6iA

SUMMARY:Tyger Tyger Online Art Auction
DESCRIPTION:Bid from anywhere! Last chance to collect original artworks salvaged from Tyger Tyger Gallery\, which was destroyed in Hurricane Helene. All of the artists who generously donated these pieces were paid for their damaged artworks through the gallery’s art insurance.  \nWe will be donating 20% of proceeds from this online auction to The Center for Craft\, who showed up with several volunteers in the aftermath of the flood to help us move artwork\, materials and supplies out of the gallery and even offered to store it for us until we could come get it. The Center for Craft has given tens of thousands of dollars to craft artists affected by Hurricane Helene\, and we value the array of offerings they bring to the community with  programming\, residencies\, grants\, and work spaces.

SUMMARY:Rethinking Disaster Recovery and Rebuilding Post-Helene: Lessons from a Flood Disaster in West Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this new monthly webinar series focused on recovery\, re-thinking\, and rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

SUMMARY:No More Climate Havens: Educating for Reality
DESCRIPTION:Our response to the climate crisis has entered a new understanding—there is no longer a false sense of a climate haven. As institutions of higher education have the potential to both model practices and educate students on ways to address climate change\, this panel explores the role of higher education in taking on this responsibility. What can institutions of higher education do to most effectively influence a societal shift and make taking action on climate change a central part of their mission?  \nPlease join us for a discussion with this expert panel of educators\, writers\, and practitioners who are leading the way in thinking about how our educational system can better serve and motivate the next cohort of climate professionals. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Keith McDade\, Director of Warren Wilson College’s Master of Science in Applied Climate Studies Program. \n“Climate Action Now” is Warren Wilson College’s new campus-wide initiative that integrates climate action into all aspects of the College’s experiential learning mission—academics\, work learning\, and community engagement. The world needs a new educational model that provides students with the skills that enable them to be inspired by the possibilities of action rather than defeated by the challenges posed by climate change. As described by President Damián Fernández\, “Global climate change is a transdisciplinary problem—the most pressing one we are confronting. It requires natural sciences\, humanities\, and social sciences to address its multiple ramifications. It impacts the arts as an expression of the human experience\, and creatives are finding ways to represent what they are witnessing and deepen understanding.”  \nhttps://events.warren-wilson.edu/event/no-more-climate-havens-educating-for-reality

SUMMARY:MountainTrue ONLINE Fall Native Plant & Shrub Sale with pick up in ASHEVILLE\, NC opens October 1st at 9 am
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE! The FALL ONLINE Native Shrub & Plant Sale for Asheville\, NC area opens on October 1st at 9 am. Give your yards and gardens a little local love with our Fall ONLINE Native Shrub & Plant Sale (with pick-ups in Asheville\, NC). Choose from several native perennial species and shrubs\, including azaleas\, ornamental native plants\, pollinator species\, and those particularly beneficial to wildlife. All plants are sourced locally from Carolina Native Nursery. We anticipate some items selling out quickly so don’t wait to place your order! \nOrders will be accepted online from October 1-31st\, while supplies last. You must pay for the order at the time you submit it in order to secure your species and size of choice. Then\, pick up your order in Asheville\, NC on Tuesday\, November 19th from 3-6 pm. Pick-up location coming soon.\n**MUST pick up on Nov. 19th unless prior arrangements have been made by emailing amy@mountaintrue.org. Early pick-up is not available. Items will not be delivered until the morning of Nov. 19th. (If you can’t pick up on that date\, consider asking a friend or family member to pick up on your behalf). \nNative shrubs and perennials are a vital component of healthy streams and lakes. They help prevent erosion\, filter pollution from runoff\, and provide food and shelter for wildlife. MountainTrue staff and volunteers spend significant time and resources removing nonnative invasive plants along streams and lake shorelines to protect water quality and ensure that the native vegetation stays healthy.  \n**Please note: several of these plants and shrubs may be “dormant” or cut back. This is normal and not a cause for concern. Here is an article explaining dormancy in plants. \nFor the full species descriptions or to sign up to receive an email notification when the sale goes live\, please visit the event page. \nPlants that are found here inspire a “sense of place” and pride in our mountain communities and promote wise stewardship and conservation of natural resources. For questions related to these or other native and invasive plant species\, email Western Region Program Coordinator\, Tony Ward.
