Balsams Landscape Fundraising Reaches $250,000

The campaign to conserve 5800 acres of the landscape surrounding the iconic Balsams Resort Wilderness hotel is nearly 30 percent toward reaching the goal. Driven by online donations the campaign hit the $250,000 mark on Tuesday, well on the way toward the $850,000 needed to execute the signed purchase-and-sale agreement with the Tillotson Corporation for conservation restrictions.
