A lovely view of BRC's Conservation Campus. From the bottom of the frame up, you can see the agricultural area, trout stream, pollinator meadow, trail, parking area, education center, and office. Hwy 321 is in the upper left. We're thankful to call this beautiful place home.

BRC held a groundbreaking at the site of the new Paddy Mountain Park trail in West Jefferson as part of Year of the Trail NC Trail Days. The park will serve as a trailhead for the Northern Peaks State Trail, which will connect the Jeffersons to Boone. blueridgeconservancy.org/recent-news/bl…
