GreenWorks will lead a NOAA heat mapping campaign of the greater Asheville area this summer.
But we can’t do it without volunteers like you!
If you choose to join the fun, you’ll received an assigned route to drive or bike using specialized sensors to collect temperature and humidity data. You’ll have one hour to complete your assigned route.
The heat data you collect will be translated into maps we’ll use to identify the hottest streets, and ultimately, find ideal tree planting locations in the neighborhoods that need them most. You’ll be helping Asheville take a huge step forward on its road to climate-resilience.
- Volunteers will meet GreenWorks staff, pick up their materials, go drive their routes, and return their equipment
- Volunteers will work in two-person teams to drive their one-hour routes.
- These same routes will be driven three times in the same day; 6-7am, 3-4pm, and 7-8pm
- Routes will be approximately 10 square miles each.
A limited number of volunteers will be needed. Volunteers may be prioritized if their neighborhood is included in a mapping route.

The state of North Carolina recognizes June 6th, 2023, as “Secure Your Load Day.” This day focuses on educating people about the danger of unsecured truckloads and the environmental harm it presents. Therefore, GreenWorks is organizing a Secure Your Load Day event. The event will consist of a cleanup in the morning and an all-day-long call to action.
Need to know
Dress in comfortable walking shoes and clothes. Meet at 230 Hominy Creek Road (right outside French Broad Outfitters) at 9:30 am.
After signing in, volunteers will receive their cleanup gear. Then, we’ll review safety and instructions before heading out to cover Hominy Creek Road.
For parents who want to bring young children, please note that there are no sidewalks on Hominy Creek Road, and there is usually high traffic of cars and trucks.
We rely on financial support from our community to inspire, equip and mobilize volunteers who make an impact. Please consider making a gift in support of this event.
