Business After Hours - Blue Ridge Conservancy
with SkyLine/SkyBest & 4 Forty Four - August 2024
You are invited to the August Business After Hours event, hosted by Blue Ridge Conservancy!
In 2019, Audrey Bentley generously donated her home and 46-acre family farm to the Blue Ridge Conservancy (BRC). Since then, the home has been transformed into office space for the BRC team. The property also features a 2.2-mile hiking trail, trout stream, pollinator meadow, education center, and meeting facilities. Our trail-blazing friends are excited for you to explore their remodeled home!
Enjoy delicious food from StickBoy Kitchen, and refreshing beverages while networking with friends and colleagues.
Event parking is located at Faithbridge United Methodist Church, 194 Aho Rd. Blowing Rock, NC 28605. A shuttle will take you to the event location. Carpooling is suggested.
Blue Ridge Conservancy (BRC) partners with landowners and local communities to permanently protect natural resources with agricultural, cultural, recreational, ecological, and scenic value in northwest North Carolina.
Since its founding, BRC has protected over almost 26,000 acres in Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes, and Yancey Counties. They are excited to celebrate the public opening of their Conservation Campus and to share updates on major projects such as the Middle Fork Greenway, Northern Peaks State Trail, and land conservation successes throughout the High Country!
