Healthy Communities
MountainTrue supports economic vitality and growth in Western North Carolina without compromising our mountain habitat.

Growth brings economic vitality to Western North Carolina, and MountainTrue members and volunteers work to ensure that development does not come at the expense of our environment and quality of life.
