CMLC Introduces New Conservation Story Series

CMLC Conservation Story Series

In this series, read tales of the people who live on our conserved lands, the struggles and rewards their families experienced, and the fascinating and sometimes bizarre occurrences that tied them to our mountains. Discover the heritage of the people who call these lands home.  Enjoy the memories of all those who hold these places dear.

CMLC’s protected lands possess an abundance of amazing natural features: waterfalls, scenic vistas, and striking biodiversity, to name only a few. All of these wonderful resources are highly visible to those who visit them, yet they reveal the value of the land only on its surface. Every tract has a story. Every mountain carries echoes of the past. CMLC is not simply conserving land, but also the timeless stories that they hold.

Check back reguarly for installments that will tell the stories behind CMLC’s more than 20,000 acres of protected lands in western North Carolina.
