WNC Sierra Club Monthly Program – Preventing Urban Sprawl in Asheville, NC (featuring MountainTrue’s N4MN Program)

Could something as simple as building more houses in town help abate climate change? We’ll explore the answers to this question and more at this Sierra Club meeting on June 5.

We know that healthy communities exist within the context of a healthy environment — and right now, both are threatened. There is a housing shortage across the country, with many hard-working families unable to find a place to live. There is also a climate crisis, with greenhouse gas emissions threatening the stability of all our planet’s ecosystems and biodiversity.

Join us as we hear from MountainTrue’s Susan Bean and Eva Snyder about Neighbors for More Neighbors WNC (N4MN), which aims to help create healthier communities for all of us while also reducing our carbon footprint.

The WNC Sierra Club meets on the first Wednesday of the month in Room 102 at UNCA’s Reuter Center/OLLI on 300 Campus View Rd. and simultaneously on Zoom. Our programs are free and open to the public. Can’t make the meeting? Don’t worry – recordings of the programs are posted on our website a week after the meeting.
