A Night of Gratitude

Whether you’ve been a member for decades or just joined this year, we invite you to celebrate the strength of our community and the shared accomplishments that protect our forests, waters, and communities.

Reconnect: Meet fellow members and staff from across the Southern Blue Ridge.
Reflect: Hear highlights from our recent conservation and advocacy wins.
Recognize: Cheer on the dedicated volunteers who make our work possible.

The Esther Cunningham Award

A highlight of the evening is the presentation of the Esther Cunningham Award. Each year, we honor an individual whose leadership, commitment, and spirit of service embody the very heart of MountainTrue. Join us as we recognize this year’s recipient and their extraordinary contributions to our region.
