Presentation to focus on conservation strategy

Presentation to focus on conservation strategy

Join Mainspring Conservation Trust on March 18 for a presentation on conservation strategy in Western North Carolina by Mainspring Conservation Outreach Associate Skye Cahoon. 

The talk will dissect the strategies that Mainspring uses to identify high-priority conservation areas, from bottomland agricultural fields with incredibly fertile soils to isolated mountaintopsthat form islands in the clouds. Learn about the extensive foundation of ecological data that informs the decision-making, including examples of rare species, important habitats and unique waterways.

The program will take place at Cowee School Arts and Heritage Center at 51 Cowee School Road in Franklin beginning at 6:30 p.m.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
