Pisgah National Forest grows with conservation land near Linville Gorge Wilderness Karen Chávez, Asheville Citizen Times © Courtesy of Jason Johnson The Linville Gorge Wilderness Area is pictured after a light snow in December. The U.S. Forest Service purchased 205 acres from The Conservation Fund for permanent protection adjacent to the gorge. A one-time Christmas tree farm abutting the iconic Linville Gorge in Burke County is now a sprawling, natural playground for white-tailed deer, warblers and wild turkey, as well as for humans. On the last day of 2020, the Conservation Fund, a national nonprofit land trust, sold the 205-acre Long Arm Mountain property to the U.S. Forest Service.
