ACTION ALERT
One and Only Chance to Save Chimney Rock Park
Save Chimney Rock! Your Voice is Needed. Take Action Today.
North Carolina Climbers have an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to permanently conserve Chimney Rock Park from development. NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! The North Carolina State Parks is negotiating with the owners of Chimney Rock Park for purchase of their property. This would then be the centerpiece property for the new Hickory Nut Gorge State Park. The owners of Chimney Rock Park have also decided to list the park for sale to the highest bidder. The most important national icon of North Carolina is at risk. There is a very real possibility of the park falling into the hands of a private developer with unknown intentions. If you want to SAVE ACCESS TO CHIMNEY ROCK PARK, then it is imperative that you do everything possible to encourage the State of North Carolina to buy Chimney Rock Park.
ACT TODAY
Send a letter or email to Governor Mike Easley. The
governor must get personally involved in the
negotiations if this is to happen. Urge Governor
Easley to get personally involved in keeping the
state and the park owners at the bargaining table
until an agreement is reached to buy and preserve
the park. For letter writing tips, click on: Contact
the Governor - Save Chimney Rock Park!
