How To Save The Mountains When You Can’t Even Afford A Mansion
The Citizen-Times has run yet another article this morning describing residents’ complaints about a local development, this time regarding the Bartram’s Walk subdivision in Beaverdam. The project will put 117 homes on mountainside 175 acres.
Articles like this always stir some very conflicting feelings in me about quality of life, environmental preservation, private property rights, supply and demand, etc.,…
It also reminded me how important land conservancies are, so I sent $10 to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. If you’re poor like me, the key to donating is to just do it quickly, without thinking too much about how broke you are. If you put it off, you’ll find that no time seems like a good time to part with your money.
If you donate, you can share the credit for all the great stuff the conservancy has bought.
