Raven’s View

Further illustrating the efficacy of conservancies, the Citizen-Times published an article today on the purchase of some land in the Hickory Nut Gorge. This gorge is also the home of Chimney Rock.

If we all donate $10 to the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy, the group mentioned in the article, maybe we could buy Chimney Rock, too.

When you check out CMLC’s Web site, note the purchase price of the Land’s Edge property: 1,568 acres for $16 million. What a departure from the $55 million the Morse family started the auction at with the Chimney Rock property.
