Montreat Landcare is a community-based group of volunteers working on conservation projects that contribute to positive environmental, social and economic outcomes. Montreat Landcare has been charged with the task of organizing projects to protect, to preserve, and to present the natural features of our cove.

Since 1905, the Montreat Conference Center has been serving the spiritual, renewal, recreational and rest needs of guests. Also known as the Mountain Retreat Association (from which Mon-treat is derived), it is a church related institute affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA). The Conference Center offers conferences throughout the year. Facilities are available for church and group retreats. Recreational opportunities abound in the natural beauty of the cove and the surrounding mountains (including a playground with two streams running through it!). Montreat is a very special place because of the Conference Center.

Montreat, NC is a secluded mountain cove community nestled at the foot of Greybeard Mountain and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. We are located in the far eastern portion of Buncombe County near the Eastern Continental Divide. We are blessed with a great variety of native flora and fauna, gently glowing streams and waterfalls and gorgeous mountain vistas. Life here is lived at a slower, more peaceful pace. There is no commercial development in Montreat, not even a traffic light. Most of the streets are narrow and winding, with much less vehicle traffic than larger towns or cities. This is an advantage to our preferred method of travel...walking. Multiple trails wind through thousands of acres of wilderness surrounding the Town, along creeks, across rustic bridges and through preserved woodland areas. Come for a visit!
