Support & Restoration Efforts in Western North Carolina

Following the devastation of Hurricane Helene, OWL has been actively involved in providing relief and environmental aid across Western North Carolina. During these efforts, we encountered many resilient communities, including Garren Creek, who faced immense challenges in the wake of the storm. Inspired by their determination, OWL has been working closely with local residents to help establish the Garren Creek Foundation, empowering the community to rebuild and protect their cherished landscape.

As we move forward, OWL is concentrating its resources on targeted debris removal and the restoration of natural areas in Garren Creek. Our focus includes cleaning local waterways, addressing hazardous debris, and supporting long-term environmental health for the area. Through this initiative, we strive not only to restore impacted areas but also to raise environmental awareness within the community. This work is part of OWL’s broader mission to protect and conserve North Carolina’s natural landscapes, support environmental education, and provide impactful programs for children, veterans, and families. We are proud to serve the region and are committed to aiding in its recovery and future resilience.
