Pisgah Project Day

Volunteers working together

Join us next year on
Saturday, April 24th, 2027!

Pisgah Project Day is held annually on the last Saturday in April and 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 Forest Service to complete dozens of improvement projects throughout the Pisgah Ranger District.

Turnpike construction, brushing, drainage improvements, bridge construction, and more on 10+ trails
Invasive plant removal at three sites in the forest
