An interview with Monroe Gilmour
| Monroe Gilmour is a resident of Black Mountain and a community organizer with a long record of social justice activism. He became involved in environmental work in 1987 when the Asheville-Buncombe Water Authority began clearcutting on the North Fork watershed near his home. Gilmour brought his skills as a community organizer to a local citizens' group opposed to the clearcutting. Building on his CACAW experience, Gilmour worked with the Western North Carolina Alliance to launch a region-wide "Cut the Clearcutting" campaign aimed at halting clearcutting on the region's national forests. |  |
