We do not inherit the land from our ancestors.
We borrow it from our children.

Blue Ridge Area
Environmental Action is committed to providing environmentally related
community education to the residents, businesses, and visitors of North
Georgia's Blue Ridge mountains and to promoting sustainability. Our goal is to get the
communities, residents, and visitors of this area involved in local
legislation, planning, community outreach, projects, and alerts. We want to
work with city and county leaders to help make our communities a
place where residents, businesses, visitors and wildlife
beneficially coexist.

Next BRAEA meeting:
Our next meeting will be on
Thursday September 2 at 6 PM the
Blue Ridge Brewery. We did think
about moving our meeting to a location that was not so weather dependent,
however, everyone we spoke to wanted to keep it at the Brewery! So, we'll
keep it there. The rain date for the September 2nd meeting will be on
Thursday September 9th.
First BRAEA Meeting
Hey everyone! We were finally
able to set up our first
Blue
Ridge Area Environmental Action meeting!
Twenty-five amazing people attended and all shared concerns, experiences and
great ideas. The group is off to a great start and we will be emailing the
minutes of the meeting out to everyone who is on the mailing list. A big
thank you to
Blue Ridge Brewery
for offering up their patio space for us (thank you Pat and Polina!). It was
great that we could hold our meeting in a place where we can help support one
of our local restaurants with some business.

questions or concerns you can

have a lot of good information to share and are anxious to get some ideas in
motion! Thanks to all who attended and to all who have expressed interest in
taking action toward a more direct approach to responsible environmental
awareness and efforts in the North Georgia's Blue Ridge mountains.
