A
Healthy and Protected Environment
People have
been relocating to our mountains for their famous
health-restoring fresh air and clean water for centuries.
As the population has increased and modern technology
has advanced, our local environment has been challenged
just like many other areas of human habitation. Unlike
some other areas, however, the people who live in
the mountains of Western North Carolina appreciate
the value of our natural environment, and intensive
government and volunteer initiatives have been ongoing
to protect the quality of our air, water, and other
environmental resources. The following are some links
we have provided to various organizations engaged
in protecting our environmental health here in Western
North Carolina:
