Named alongside citizen groups in Clarke Monthly's 2025 resort coverage

Friends of the Blue Ridge Mountains

A nonprofit named by Clarke Monthly in December 2025 among the citizen groups raising concerns about a proposed Blue Ridge resort, specifically over clear cutting, water use, and traffic.

The December 2025 issue of Clarke Monthly reported growing concern over a proposed resort on the Blue Ridge, with clear cutting, water use, and traffic raised by citizen groups, among them the nonprofit Friends of the Blue Ridge Mountains1. The organisation appears in the record specifically as a participant in the resort-opposition coalition; the broader shape of its own programme (its mission, its board, its work outside this one issue) sits outside what the December 2025 column carried.

One claim establishes the organisation's participation in the 2025 resort opposition. Its own founding, mission statement, board, and 501(c)(3) or other legal status are the natural next research targets. The IRS Business Master File and the organisation's own website would open both.
