Statewide Land Protection Programs

The Conservation Trust and North Carolina’s 24 local land trusts are able to protect more clean water, family farms, wildlife areas, and significant natural areas thanks to valuable partnerships with state and local governments.

Partnerships with public agencies boost funding for land conservation and water quality in the state and leverage additional funding sources, such as federal grants and private donations. We use these resources as we work with landowners to save the places you love!

 

Farmland Protection

Transitioning from Tobacco

North Carolina TobaccoThe elimination of the federal tobacco subsidy program contributed to farmland loss in North Carolina as farmers struggled to adapt or left agriculture altogether. With financial support from the NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission, land trusts are working with the NC Farm Transition Network to help tobacco farmers, buyout participants, and agriculture professionals preserve threatened farms to help ensure agriculture’s future in the state.

Protecting Wildlife

TurtleEighteen percent of the plant and animal species in North Carolina are on the Federal Endangered and Threatened species list. Never before has there been a greater need to support conservation, protection, and restoration of our state's unique wildlife. The North Carolina State Wildlife Action Plan is a blueprint for agencies, organizations, industries, and academics across the state to advance the sound management of our fish and wildlife long into the future.
