A land trust is a nonprofit organization that actively works to conserve land by undertaking or assisting in direct land transactions�\primarily the purchase or acceptance of donations of land or conservation easements. The Conservancy is one of 24 land trusts in North Carolina working to save the places you love by protecting our land, water,
and wildlife habitat.

The Conservancy currently protects more than 6,793 acres in its
six-county service area. Support from more than 1,500 donors,
60 corporate partners, 300 volunteers and a variety of
government and foundation organizations make our work possible. More than 65 private landowners have
entrusted to us what is, in most cases, their most valued and precious possession. These people are just like you. They have a vision for the future of this region, and the Conservancy is making that vision a reality with each property it protects.
