If you would like to volunteer at the rondy, you can contact us at ncforestdefense@riseup.net We are looking for people to sign up for volunteer shifts cooking, doing security, and shuttling attendees.
Group meals and snacks will be provided and will most likely be vegan. People may bring meat and their own cooking gear if they require it.
In order to reduce parking difficulties on Globe Rd. and the forest service road, attendees are encouraged to carpool in and park in a lot inside Blowing Rock (by the park on Main st. make a Right on Laurel Ave.) and then hike in on Globe Rd. . The 421 Mountaineer Express Bus is also available to ride from the Greensboro area to Boone which is very close to Blowing Rock. We can arrange pickup locations and times from Boone if you contact us in advance.
The rondy is technically free but we will pass a hat and encourage donations to go towards our costs.
There will be shitters with tarps for privacy. Do not under any circumstances relieve yourself by any stream.
Please don’t bring the following:
Racism, sexism, transphobia or homophobia, dogs, illegal drugs, guns, excessive amounts of alcohol, debates over violence vs. pacifism, vegan vs. meat eating, breeding vs. not breeding, and try to leave cell phones in your car because they do not work on site anyways.
