Montreat Landcare

A Joomla! Template for the Rest of Us

 

Welcome to Montreat Landcare!

If you are familiar with Montreat, you know what a special place it is. This small cove is home to many people and organizations, and it is visited by well over 45,000 people each year. Lookout and Graybeard Mountains, Flat Creek, and Lake Susan hold many meaningful memories for generations of visitors and residents.

The Montreat Landcare Committee has been charged with the task of organizing projects to protect, to preserve, and to present the natural features of our cove. And this website has been designed to let you know about our progress, but more than that, to hopefully inspire others to develop their own projects in their own communities.

This site is very much a work in progress, so please check back often for information on and photos of our projects, resources for beginning your own projects, listings of upcoming hikes and events, and much more. Thank you for your support!
