This part of the Carolinas is full of wonders. It’s a place of great beauty, full of unique plants and animals. It’s a place that we love and call home. It’s a landscape that we depend on to sustain us, with farms that grow food, rivers that provide water, and forests that we need for clean air and a stable climate. And it’s a place that we urgently need to protect—for people and for all of nature.
Conserving Carolina has helped protect almost 49,000 acres and we are working hard to protect more. At a time of crisis when many plants and animals could go extinct, we are bringing back vital habitat that was lost and we’re connecting vast conservation corridors. At a time when people deeply need more nature in our lives, Conserving Carolina is opening new parks and trails (33 so far), spearheading a 100+ mile trail network, advancing 50 miles of new rails trails, and connecting people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to the great outdoors. At a time when so much of our rural land is being developed, we are working with private landowners to preserve farmland, clean water, wildlife habitat, and scenic views.
