Mast General sales to go toward conservation

Purchases at Waynesville’s Mast General Store Saturday, June 6, will help out with land conservation. 

For that day, the store will donate a percentage of its sales to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy to support local land and water conservation efforts.

“Our conservation work directly impacts tourism as an economic driver in Western North Carolina communities,” said Cheryl Fowler, SAHC’s Membership Director. “We are grateful that many of our business partners have recognized this fact and pledged to ‘give back’ by donating a percentage of the day’s sales.”

Land Trust Day is held each year in conjunction with National Trails Day, the first Saturday in June.

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.
