Pisgah Project Day

Volunteers working together

Save the date for Pisgah Project Day! Saturday, April 26th, 2025

Pisgah Project Day (PPD) is Pisgah’s largest volunteer day. Each spring, hundreds of community volunteers join forces with The Pisgah Conservancy, our event sponsors and partners, and the U.S. Forest Service to complete 20+ improvement projects throughout the Pisgah Ranger District in a single day!

Due to an incredible response from the community, Pisgah Project Day 2025 volunteer registration is now closed! To be notified if space becomes available and about future volunteer opportunities, please visit our ‘Volunteer’ page.
