A Commitment to Wilderness Preservation

In the spring of 2018, Wes undertook what he thought was a small art-related fundraising project (an oval bumper decal), and soon ended up assuming the role of Executive Director of the Wilson Creek Clean Up Fund, 501c3 Non-Profit organization.  By September of 2024 this team had documented the removal of over 101,000 lbs of trash and debris from the Wilson Creek watershed for proper disposal.

Things changed dramatically on September 27th, 2024 as Hurricane Helene struck western North Carolina and created massive property and ecological devastation. 

ACleanWilsonCreek.org merged with a larger conservation nonprofit, WildSouth.org in February of 2025 to assist with tackling the many years of recover that lie ahead. 

Your support of these ongoing ecological recovery efforts is greatly appreciated!
