Abstract:

In 2005, World's Edge--a series of cliffs on the Southern Blue Ridge Escarpment--came under threat of unsustainable development. Over the past ten years, public, private, and governmental agencies funded an effort to purchase the lands for conservation and trail development, which added to recreational opportunities at Chimney Rock State Park.
