WNC Recovery

TrailBlazerOT is headquartered in Boone, NC. Our region was devastated by Hurricane Helene. There are many organizations in in Western, NC and the surrounding areas doing excellent work to help our communities recover. Some of these organizations are listed below. This is not a comprehensive list, these are organizations I am aware of and can vouch for. If you are able, consider donating or volunteering. The trail groups will continue to post trail work days and volunteers are vital to restoring our beloved trails.
