Mast is joining a list of other area businesses to donate a percentage of sales to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy for Land Trust Day. This land trust works to preserve productive farmland, scenic mountains and clean streams and has so far protected more than 63,000 acres. 

“We are very grateful to our partners in the business community for supporting our conservation work on Land Trust Day,” said Carl Silverstein, SAHC’s executive director.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
