An Awareness Initiative for Pisgah Forest

Gear That Gives is more than a Weevil Outdoor tagline — it’s a dedicated awareness and outreach program designed to support conservation efforts in Pisgah Forest.

Through the Gear That Gives initiative, Weevil Outdoor partners with The Pisgah Conservancy to raise awareness about trail maintenance, ecosystem protection, and responsible recreation. This program helps educate the public, inspire stewardship, and build a community that actively participates in preserving Pisgah for generations to come.

Every month, we highlight real conservation work happening on the ground in Pisgah — from trail restoration and habitat protection to clean water initiatives and erosion control. We also share opportunities for the community to volunteer, learn, and take action.

 

Why Awareness Matters

Pisgah National Forest is one of the most beloved outdoor recreation areas in the country. As visitation grows, so does the need for public awareness and stewardship. Conservation starts with understanding what’s at stake — and that’s where Gear That Gives plays an essential role.

Through educational content, volunteer events, and collaborative partnerships, this initiative:

• Promotes awareness of environmental stewardship and trail maintenance needs.

• Connects volunteers to real conservation projects in Pisgah.

• Educates visitors about responsible recreation and ecosystem protection.

• Amplifies the work of The Pisgah Conservancy in protecting critical trail systems and habitats.

When people learn what goes into protecting Pisgah, they’re more likely to become part of the solution.

 

Turning Gear Into Action

When you purchase Weevil gear, you’re directly supporting Pisgah — but Gear That Gives goes far beyond fundraising.

• 1% of every single Weevil Gear purchase benefits The Pisgah Conservancy, helping maintain trails and protect habitats.
• Our Trail Notes (blog), social media, and community events share educational resources and trail stewardship opportunities, keeping awareness at the heart of what we do.
• Our volunteer network grows with every event — empowering the outdoor community to give back.

This is how we turn gear into action.
