The Montreat Wilderness Committee was commissioned in 1992 to advise the Mountain Retreat Association (MRA) on the use of their wilderness properties. The committee is comprised of people appointed by the President of the MRA. The members of the committee were involved in getting a large 2,300 acre tract of land put into conservation easement in 2004. Today the committee continues to offer advice and suggestions to the staff of the MRA in regards to wilderness management.
