Us here at Southern Appalachian Anglers and SAARPC are excited to share and educate others on maintaining our waterways to keep them free of trash. We’re sharing some great ways to help join our fight against litter and we will be planning volunteer events in the near future exclusively for trash pick ups in and around the greater Asheville area.

Since learning of loon population declines two years ago, we have been investigating the causes of the declines in Wisconsin.
