Western
North Carolina Alliance The Alliance strives to think globally and to act locally. The Alliance encourages its members to recognize the interrelationships among environmental issues and to take personal responsibility for achieving protection of the environment in their communities. Western North Carolina Alliance insists that our communities and region not only can, but must, develop economically in ways that are compatible with environmental protection, while serving the needs of local citizens. This can be accomplished with comprehensive land use planning which is community based and locally controlled. The Alliance further advocates for adequate farmland protection, green ways. and public lands for recreation, wildlife habitat, and biodiversity in regional planning processes.
