Why Donate to Blue Ridge Conservancy ?

Blue Ridge Conservancy (BRC) is a nonprofit land trust dedicated to conserving natural resources in northwest North Carolina. BRC has conserved over 22,000 acres in Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey Counties. BRC’s efforts have resulted in the protection of scenic vistas, working farmland, rare and threatened ecological habitats and clean water resources. BRC continues to assist the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain State Park and Elk Knob State Park in expanding their borders, established Pond Mountain Game Land and is spearheading the Middle Fork Greenway project to connect Blowing Rock to Boone, naturally. Exceptional levels of financial transparency and accountability earned BRC a four star rating from Charity Navigator, the nation's largest independent evaluator of nonprofit organizations. BRC is accredited by the Land Trust Accreditation Commission for meeting the highest standards for excellence and conservation permanence.
