•  BLUE RIDGE FOREVER
The Little Tennessee River Valey is known as both an aquatic hot spot and a cultural landmark. But some of the valley is owned by developers with big plans.

Wildlife experts say the valley is home to many endangered species, and that much of the land is in a flood plain not suitable for homes.

In this week's "Blue Ridge Forever", we look at what's being done to protect the valley, and its natural wonders, for future generations.
