Coming Home to the Fields: Cane Creek Park Reopening & Echo Unveiling📅 April 4, 2026 | 11:30 AM
📍 Cane Creek Park, Buncombe County, NC
There are few things more joyful than children returning to a soccer field.
Cane Creek Park was among the places deeply wounded by Hurricane Helene. In the months that followed, it became one of the main drop-off points for Helene storm debris — a testament to both the scale of the destruction and the community's determination to clear the path forward.
This spring, the soccer fields reopen. And Echoes of the Forest is honored to mark that moment with something lasting.
Join us on April 4th for the unveiling of "Soccer Cub" — a new commissioned Echo crafted by chainsaw carver Mike Ayers of Whetstone Woodworks — taking permanent root at the park for the whole community to enjoy.
Come witness the unveiling, celebrate the return of play, and be part of a moment that belongs to all of us.
🌲 About Echoes of the Forest
Echoes of the Forest is a Western North Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit that partners with local Appalachian artisans to transform Hurricane Helene-salvaged timber into handcrafted public art installations. Every Echo tells two stories: the history of the tree that once stood, and the community that chose to honor it.
