Friends of Panthertown will celebrate the grand opening of its first ever official headquarters and office space during a drop-in event noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 116 Central St. in Sylva.

 

The event will include a ribbon-cutting, snacks, campfire (complete with s’mores) and a chance to meet the organization’s board and staff — and learn about Friends of Panthertown’s work.

Friends of Panthertown is a nonprofit that works in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to conserve the Panthertown Valley Backcountry Recreation Area in the Nantahala National Forest and to enable sustainable conservation there. Staff and volunteers maintain 30 miles of public trails.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
