We face a crucial time in land protection in the  Southern Blue Ridge Mountains. While for the  moment, much of our mountain landscape is still  intact, the special places we protect – or lose –  this decade will determine the character of our  landscape forever. This decade is our last  chance to safeguard the large remaining tracts.

 The task is too enormous to face alone - so  thirteen local, state and national conservation  organizations have joined forces as the Blue  Ridge Forever Coalition.
