We’re counting on you
Your support helps us do what we’re most passionate about — protecting the places we share. MountainTrue is your champion, working alongside you and other environmental organizations to protect and improve the quality of our environment. We take a two-pronged approach, working at both the grassroots and policy levels.
At home
Our four regional offices allow the MountainTrue team to assume a hyper-local approach to our work, focusing on issues that matter most to you.
In Raleigh
Our staff advocates for state-wide policy changes in Raleigh as well as with elected officials in our cities, towns, and counties.
In our communities
Our Healthy Communities Program advocates for vibrant, thriving urban and rural communities with equitable access to affordable housing.
On the rivers
With four in-house riverkeepers looking after the Broad, French Broad, Green, and Watauga rivers, MountainTrue is its own ecosystem of water defenders and protectors.
In the forests
Our Public Lands team monitors timber sales on over one million acres of public land to ensure old-growth stands, water quality, and sensitive ecosystems in these ancient mountain forests are protected.
In biodiverse habitats
We help to restore native plant and animal habitats by safely treating and removing nonnative invasive species, because abundant, thriving native biodiversity is our best defense against climate change.
