We are getting closer to school being back, and the excitement for our #CollegeAmbassadors to return is building! We are looking back at our Appalachian State University ambassadors and students planting 2,500 trees in just 2 hours at the former Ward’s Mill Dam site last semester. This effort helps combat erosion and restore the riverbank. Volunteers also cleared large amounts of trash, preserving the Watauga River. 🌳💧 #Stewardship #College #AppState #Mountaineers #WataugaRiver #Conservation #CollegeProgram 📸: NationalParkTrust | AppNPT Images: Students planting trees and picking up trash at Ward's Mill Dam
