Mountain True
Group
Formerly Western North Carolina Alliance.
Mountain True contains the French Broad and Watauga Riverkeepers.

In fact since 2003, Mountain True has received over fifty-eight percent of its grant monies from these four foundations. Mountain True’s radical progressive agenda also includes the leftists induced Climate Change theory.
