Our Campus
We're on a 40 acre property with pristine, temperate rain forest, hiking trails throughout, medicinal wildflowers, natural springs and creek, 100 year old barn used as a community center. The Campus is in close proximity to the Appalachian Trail and Asheville, NC.
We are raising funds to better serve the existing community and expand the services and resources Cicada provides. This starts with improving the campus, encouraging additional community engagement to help increase impact, exposure to potential Cicadas and expand the volunteer base.
In the next year, we seek to improve upon the primitive camp setup at Cicada Institute in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
