The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) has scheduled its fall fundraiser, For Land’s Sake, to be held Sunday, September 7.

The event will include dinner, drinks, live music by classical guitarist Paul Bowman and a silent auction.

A special guest will be in attendance at the event.

Mary Alice Monroe is a New York Times best-selling author and active conservationist. The author of over a dozen novels, several non-fiction titles and children’s books, her body of work reflects her commitment to the natural world through literature.

She has explored the problems of endangered sea turtles (The Beach House), raptors (Skyward) and the indigenous grass and endangered ecosystem (Sweetgrass).

Her new Lowcountry Summer trilogy (The Summer Girls, The Summer Wind) deals with the plight of the Bottlenose Dolphin.

Anyone interested in attending the event on Sept. 7 should contact the PAC office at 828-859-5060.

Proceeds from the event will go towards PAC’s land saving projects. A portion of the ticket price is tax deductible.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to protect and conserve natural resources with emphasis on the lands and waterways with scenic, ecological, and agricultural significance in the North Pacolet and Green River watersheds (PACs mission).

PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state, and local tax benefits. PACs vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and our goal is to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing native species appreciation and responsible land use practices.

PAC – saving the places you love.
