The mission of Friends of Panthertown is to work in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to conserve this outstanding natural resource while improving the quality and experience of recreational opportunities in Panthertown Valley.
Our volunteers maintain 30 miles of public trails in this treasured backcountry recreation area located in western North Carolina's Nantahala National Forest.
Our members support our conservation efforts with membership donations.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
