Bottomley Evergreens & Farms, Inc. and Bottomley Properties NC, LLC (Bottomley companies) started clearing land in Alleghany and Surry County along Ramey creek off the Blue Ridge parkway. They claimed this an agriculture operation, which in NC exempts them from all rules of the erosion and sedimentation control. This exemption means they do not need to file any permits, place any erosion controls or leave any trees standing anywhere. Please join us in stopping the destruction of land and trout streams on the Blue Ridge Parkway before this sets a precedent that can continue elsewhere.
