Preserve Rural Orange is dedicated to protecting the environment and public health. Based in Orange County, North Carolina, PRO engages decision-makers, environmental leaders and thousands of citizens in grassroots campaigns and educational forums, We advocate for accountability, transparency, and sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to projects that would have devastating impacts on land, farms and rural communities. And we do our homework, with thorough research and a commitment to making public information available in time to make a difference.

Join PRO and support efforts to keep our beautiful communities green, clean and healthy for generations to come.
