Friends of Panthertown has two events coming up in September that will give people a chance to get involved.

 

On Sept. 1, join Friends of Panthertown and Western Carolina University professor Enrique Gomez for an evening of astronomy and stargazing. This is an opportunity to learn about the science of what goes on beyond our atmosphere. To participate, meet at the Salt Rock Gap trailhead at 8 p.m. People are responsible for bringing their own water and a chair, if desired. Due to the nature of this event, participants are limited to 10.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 5, Friends of Panthertown will host a volunteer trail work day at Cold Mountain Gap trailhead.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
