RIVER LAND CONSERVANCY
is a non-profit organization
working to protect farms, forests, water, wildlife and scenic
rural landscapes in the counties of the Upper Tar River Basin.
HOW
DOES TAR RIVER LAND CONSERVANCY SAVE THE PLACES WE LOVE?
Tar
River Land Conservancy works with public and private landowners,
businesses and others to negotiate permanent conservation
easement agreements that protect natural and heritage resources
important to our communities.
HOW DOES
MY FAMILY AND MY COMMUNITY BENEFIT FROM TAR RIVER LAND CONSERVANCY'S
WORK?
It means we will all have cleaner
air to breath and water to drink, more opportunities for outdoor
recreation, and sustainable working farms that can contribute
to our local economy. It means that miles of scenic stream
and river corridors, wide rolling landscapes, and woodlands
will be protected forever: for our future health, enjoyment
and economic well-being.

IS PROTECTING NATURAL AND HERITAGE RESOURCES IMPORTANT?
