Macedonia Church Road Dumpsite Cleanup

Completed February 2023

For The Pisgah Conservancy’s second annual dumpsite cleanup, we focused our efforts on a beautiful stretch of river on the North Fork of the French Broad. Previously the location of an old transfer station, the area remained a site for illegal dumping long after the station was decommissioned. We cleaned up the site, rehabilitated the area, and made improvements to prevent future dumping activity.

Be a part of the next Pisgah Conservancy success story:

In February 2023, we collaborated with Headwaters Outfitters and the U.S. Forest Service to clean up, rehabilitate, and block off an illegal dumpsite along the North Fork of the French Broad River near the junction of Highway 215 and Macedonia Church Road in the Balsam Grove area.

Thanks to these efforts and the hard work of community volunteers, this beautiful riverside corner of Pisgah is now free of waste and wreckage and ready for all visitors to enjoy.

Outcomes:

7,920 pounds of trash removed
Impacted areas rehabilitated and seeded
Boulders placed to prevent vehicles and UTVs from accessing the previous dumping areas while maintaining public parking to access the area
