I think we should share it with our members. I’m not sure I see any point in us
“joining”.

Hey!
I PISGAH is a coalition of businesses, outdoor organizations, recreation
groups, and everyday folks who love the 1.1-million acre Pisgah-Nantahala
National Forest and are working to protect its clean water, scenery, and
recreational opportunities.
Already, over 120 businesses and organizations across North Carolina—and over
10,000 individuals—have joined our broad, diverse coalition. Will you
consider joining the I HEART PISGAH coalition? It's completely free, and it
requires nothing other than a love of the outdoors and a desire to protect
more of the Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest.
The Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest is the second-most-visited national
forest in the country. Nearly 7 million people visited the forest last year,
and most of them came to hike, camp, and enjoy its scenic wonders. Over 90
percent of visitors to Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest are hikers, bikers,
runners, paddlers, climbers, anglers, naturalists, photographers, and
nature-seeking outdoor enthusiasts.
The I PISGAH coalition supports strong, lasting protections for the most
beloved and biologically diverse sections of Pisgah-Nantahala National
Forest, especially its old-growth forests, headwaters, pristine streams,
trail corridors, rare species, and recreational hubs.
The Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest is a vital part of our region’s health.
We want to ensure that the forest is protected for the future.
As a member, your logo will appear on our site along with dozens of other
leading local, regional, and national businesses and organizations. Your
businesses will be highlighted in other promotional materials and campaigns
and shared with thousands of I HEART PISGAH members across the region.
You will be celebrated as an ambassador for the forest and the region’s
vibrant outdoor economy. Our campaign will also be featured in local and
regional news outlets in the coming months. We’ll also send you I PISGAH
stickers, signage, and other materials for display.
If you’d like to join, all you need to do is say yes. No money or any other
commitments are needed (although you’re certainly welcome to donate; we’re an
all-volunteer 501(c)(3)nonprofit, and your donations are 100%
tax-deductible). If possible, please send along your company’s logo, too.
If you would prefer to just join as an individual rather than a business,
that's fine too.
You can find out more at iheartpisgah.org. Please feel free to call or email
me with any questions at all. Thank you for considering this opportunity to
join the fun and feel the love.
Sincerely,
Will Harlan
