We are looking forward to gathering with you all again in February. In our last meeting Wes Waugh of A Clean Wilson Creek gave an impactful presentation on the effects of Hurricane Helene on the Wilson Creek drainage. Shea Tuberty, professor of biology at Appalachian State University, followed Wes with an informative look at the effects of climate change on the strength and severity of rain events and the impact of these storms on aquatic invertebrate species, fish, and the health of our streams. As we approach spring, and an increase in the recreational usage of local streams, our efforts are needed to assist in cleaning our waterways. There are countless opportunities to help alongside other organizations, however we would like, as a chapter, to identify a stretch of local water needing our help. To start our meeting we would like to discuss and commit to our next group effort. Following our brief discussion, we are glad to announce we will be hosting a fly tying night for the duration of our evening. Due South Outfitters is sponsoring this event and will be providing vises, tools, and materials. Vises are limited, so we encourage anyone with a vise and materials to bring their own as well. Feel free to bring your own tying beverages. We look forward to seeing you all Thursday February 6th at 6:00pm! Corey Murphy Vice President High Country TU Who's attending this event?
