The Blue Ridge Mountains are a national treasure—an ancient, sacred place at the heart of our region.
Paris Mountain now faces a commercial development threat on its southeastern slope near Ashby Gap where developers seek to build “Eastwind Blue Ridge” on 146 acres encompassing land in Clarke, Loudoun, and Fauquier counties. Friends of the Blue Ridge Mountains has joined forces with sixteen other local and regional organizations to form the Paris Mountain Alliance, dedicated to protecting the mountain—its steep slopes, forest canopy, critical habitat, and precious waters—from becoming a hotel-restaurant-spa complex .
To learn more, meet the alliance partners, and support the campaign working to safeguard Paris Mountain, please visit our Protect Paris Mountain project page.
