MT Raleigh Report: The Latest on Conservation Projects in the State Budget
Recently, lawmakers gave final approval to their version of the state’s $24 billion spending plan.

Ask The General Assembly To Support WNC Rivers in the Budget
Over the past few months, MountainTrue has been working with lawmakers to support a number of conservation projects that could end up being adopted in the next state budget. These projects will help clean up hazardous spills like the one that happened last year on the Watauga River, fund expanded water quality monitoring and improved river access for anglers, boaters and swimmers. Contact your legislators to urge them to support clean water for WNC and ensure that they make it into the final budget.
