State lawmakers provide millions of dollars for land and water conservation, even as the economy sours. Farmers who want to convert their fields to wildlife habitat win a property tax break. Land trusts gain backing for fees that help pay the cost of monitoring protected properties.

These and other recent policy successes were made possible because conservation supporters like you made your voices heard by state and federal elected officials, with calls and e-mails, letters to the editor, op-eds and petitions.

The Conservation Trust for North Carolina has been an effective voice in Raleigh and Washington, but it has always been with your help. Let's keep working together to save the places you love!

 

Blue Ridge Parkway viewASK CONGRESS TO PROTECT THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY

North Carolina and Virginia lawmakers have introduced the Blue Ridge Parkway Protection Act, which would provide $75 million over five years to protect the highly threatened streams, forests, farms and breathtaking views along this historic scenic highway.

We need your help to encourage more U.S. senators and representatives to sign on as cosponsors.
