SUMMARY:Land Trust Day at Mast General Store\, Boone NC
DESCRIPTION:On 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐲\, Saturday\, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟔\, the 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞 will 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝟐𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 to 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲. \nLand trusts are non-profit organizations that preserve the health and heritage of our natural spaces. Also known as conservancies\, land trusts may work with landowners to safeguard family farms\, create accessible public parks\, protect wetlands and wildlife habitats\, or provide recreational opportunities everyone can enjoy. \nFor more than 50 years\, the New River Conservancy has protected the waters\, woodlands\, and wildlife within the New River Watershed. The group educates those who live in communities along the river’s 360-mile course about the importance of water quality plays in maintaining the river’s health and expanding economic and recreational opportunities.\n\nJoin us at the Mast Store in Boone to learn how your local land trust enhances the High Country’s breathtaking scenic areas and support its vital work.\nWe look forward to seeing you on Land Trust Day\, and thank you for loving the land we all share!
