The CTNC Story: Teaming to protect water
 Where has CTNC protected the iconic landscapes of the Blue Ridge Parkway? How do we team up to safeguard your drinking water? What’s the tangible help the dollars and (good) sense we provide to local land trusts? When -- with your help -- have we persuaded lawmakers to expand conservation policies and funding?
The answers are in a new series of success stories that you’ll see posted from time to time on this website. Take a look at the first, which explains how we worked with local land trusts, state government and the Town of Waynesville to put the last piece in the conservation puzzle to protect the town’s drinking water reservoir, forever. We specialize in projects like these, helping a variety of partners tackle complex challenges to bring a long-held land protection dream to fruition.
We’ve got more stories to tell -- about our emergency land protection loan fund for land trusts, our government advocacy, the ways that we’re reaching out to urban and minority communities to include them in our work. Keep alert for future stories, and see how your support plays an essential role as we save the places you love.

Foundation continues generous support
 The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation is continuing its generous support of CTNC’s core programs with a three-year, $225,000 grant. The funds will help us maintain and accelerate land and water protection, providing the foundation for healthy communities across North Carolina through our assistance to 23 local land trusts and our direct land protection on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
“This grant will help CTNC leverage much-needed additional funds from other foundations and individuals as we develop and implement strategies to see us through these challenging times,” said CTNC associate director Margaret Newbold. “The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation’s longstanding generous support has been critical to the success of North Carolina’s land trusts.”
