Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy partners with landowners and organizations to protect land and water resources vital to our natural heritage and quality of life. Dedicated to saving the places you love, CMLC works to permanently conserve and actively care for an ever-growing regional network of locally and nationally significant farm, forest, park and natural lands among the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hickory Nut Gorge and French Broad River watershed.

Project Update

Nearly 800 acres of the 8,000-acre East Fork Headwaters (EFH) tract have now been permanently conserved and made forever publicly accessible through the efforts of the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy, The Conservation Fund, NC Wildlife Resources Commission and other community partners. The protected area includes a nine-mile corridor that hosts the venerable long distance Foothills Trail. EFH was recently included in President Obama's America's Great Outdoors initiative. CMLC executive director Kieran Roe was invited to the White House to represent CMLC and our EFH project at its "Conference on Conservation" in March 2012.
