An online forum at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 29, will seek public input to help shape plans for the Chestnut Mountain project in Canton. 

The Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy has acquired 448 acres along U.S. 19/23 just east of Canton and plans to transfer the property to the town for use as a nature park. The property will permanently protect clean water and forested habitat in an important wildlife corridor, and its easy-to-access location presents possibilities for future outdoor recreation amenities. 

To attend the online forum, use the Zoom link https://zoom.us/j/92912508471. To learn more about the project, visit https://bit.ly/3f5fKMV.

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.
