🌿 Step Up for the Bakers Mountain! Join Visit Hickory NC, Outdoor NC, and our awesome local partners—Catawba County Parks, Keep Catawba County Beautiful, and Catawba County Library System—for a clean-up day that gives back to the trails, trees, and overlooks we all love.
We’ll have the gloves, grabbers, and good company ready—you just bring your helping hands (and maybe a couple of friends who don’t mind a little dirt). This clean up will focus on an old 1950s dump site within Bakers Mountain Park that isn’t yet open to the public (we’ll be accessing it via a service road)—helping prepare the area for future trail development! Additional projects include clearing litter along Bakers Mountain Road and sprucing up the park’s white vinyl fence.
✨ Bonus perks: Cranford Hospitality and Main Chick Jammin' Biscuits will be serving up breakfast biscuits (first come, first serve). Plus, the first 5 people to name one of the Leave No Trace principles to a Visit Hickory staff member will score a reusable ENO bag, courtesy of Outdoor NC.
