Chapter: Rowan County
If you believe “what we do to the land, we do to the people,” then you’ll find friends in KFTC’s Rowan County chapter.
Members from Rowan and surrounding counties work together to address problems and have a say in policies and actions affecting the land and people here in our own communities and throughout the state. We raise awareness about mountaintop removal, air quality, water quality, tax fairness, clean and affordable energy, and other issues important to our members.
Our monthly chapter meeting is a great way to learn about our local and statewide work, share your own ideas and get involved.
