Pisgah Project Day

Volunteers working together

Thank you for an incredible
Pisgah Project Day 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 dozens of improvement projects throughout the Pisgah Ranger District.

On Saturday, April 26th, 500 volunteers joined forces with us to complete 25 projects in a single day during our biggest PPD event to date. 

Stay tuned for a PPD 2026 date announcement!
