Board & Advisory Committee

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
~Margaret Mead

The Montgomery Countryside Alliance was formed by a small group of passionate and dedicated Montgomery County residents who wanted to protect our nationally recognized model of conservation, the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve. Originally formed to oppose a bridge crossing that would destroy the protected area, the group has since expanded to represent the Reserve’s interest more extensively, including protection from additional development threats and increasing support and awareness of its local Ag communities.  MCA’s Board and Advisory Committee consist of community members from all over the county whose enthusiasm and commitment to preserving and protecting our county’s rural areas  is unwavering.
