Blue Ridge Conservancy

The Blue Ridge Conservancy recently moved to protect a 2,400-foot peak in the Brushy Mountains in Wilkes County. 

Blue Ridge Conservancy officials have a plan in place for creating a park on 33 acres to anchor its Middle Fork Greenway, the next step in creating a walkable link between Boone and Blowing Rock.

A unique collaboration between two conservation organizations has led to the permanent protection of over 1,100 acres in North Carolina’s Brushy Mountains.
