Dear Citizens of Triston,

Carolina Conservation of Nature Council, I am asking for the
community's help with a serious issue. First, I want to

build a new community theater. However, do they realize that

Answer :

The passage most likely addresses the North Carolina Conservation of Nature Council. This can be inferred from the statement "As a concerned citizen of Triston and member of the North Carolina Conservation of Nature Council..." which suggests that the author is specifically addressing members of this council.

The editorial urges the community to consider the impact of building a new theater on the habitat of an endangered species, the Bachman's warbler, indicating a focus on conservation and environmental concerns. This aligns with the goals and interests of a conservation council rather than the general public, city council, or animal activist groups.

Therefore, the audience addressed in the passage is likely the North Carolina Conservation of Nature Council, as they would have a vested interest in protecting the habitat of endangered species and advocating for conservation efforts.
