Last fall, Crab Creek neighbors and friends convinced a county board to stop a developer from building a giant storage facility in the heart of our community.  It was a unanimous decision.  In achieving this victory, we learned that rural communities throughout the county are all vulnerable to development that threatens their beauty, tranquility, ecology, and cultural heritage.  Now we're:

• Working with other citizens to keep rural areas rural, countywide.  This is a critical time in Henderson County history.  If rural areas aren't better protected by December 2022, when the county will approve a new blueprint to govern growth and development for the next 20-plus years, there won't be any intact rural areas left to save.  Learn more about Rural Protection and the County Plan, then influence local officials by visiting Who to Contact.

​

• Continuing to build community around a shared love of Western North Carolina's natural resources and rural heritage.  Ask for updates (below), join our Facebook group, and please consider making a generous donation.
