It's #GivingTuesday! As a staff, we are proud to be a part of the important work of BRC, from conserving land to creating access to recreation areas for the public. Thanks to all our friends for their support. We simply couldn't do it without you. https://t.co/kuL7rdgS0j

BRC and Camp Lutherock recently settled a lawsuit with a developer who encroached and trespassed on a conservation easement in Avery Co. It is the first time BRC has sued to defend an easement, and sets a precedent for conservation easement enforceability.

Salamanders love the rain, and we love the salamanders!
So tonight at 8pm we invite you to don your boots and headlamps and join us at the BRC Conservation Campus at 416 Aho Rd for a "Salamander Meander" with naturalist Paul Laurent.

Thanks to Alan Briggs for taking us to Bluff Mountain Nature Preserve this week. We got a chance to scout out the NPST corridor and Three Top Mountain from a beautiful new perspective. #blueridgemountains

@scottelliott_nc @WataugaSchools @PerfectEffort14 @whsvb @PKYPatriots @WHSPioneerPride Happy first day, Elliotts! Nice shirt, Scott! (We could ring a bell at work and do announcements if it makes you feel more at home.)

A lovely view of BRC's Conservation Campus. From the bottom of the frame up, you can see the agricultural area, trout stream, pollinator meadow, trail, parking area, education center, and office. Hwy 321 is in the upper left. We're thankful to call this beautiful place home.

BRC held a groundbreaking at the site of the new Paddy Mountain Park trail in West Jefferson as part of Year of the Trail NC Trail Days. The park will serve as a trailhead for the Northern Peaks State Trail, which will connect the Jeffersons to Boone. https://t.co/MpSeEJBPPq
