To the Editor:

Friends of Panthertown and Mainspring Conservation Trust would like to thank all of our donors, including Jackson County residents, commissioners, and the Tourism Development Authority for contributing to the 16-acre Salt Rock land acquisition. 

With the outpouring of generosity and community support, together we were successfully able to raise the funds necessary to purchase and conserve this important piece of property. Thank you for helping us protect and maintain Panthertown Valley.

Join the Friends of Panthertown on Saturday, June 3, National Trails Day, at the Salt Rock trailhead to celebrate conservation of Panthertown. Visit www.panthertown.org for more info.

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.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
