WE'RE SAVING THE PLACES YOU LOVE
Our region is a beautiful patchwork of farms, forests, streams and scenic rural landscapes. The land and how it has been used for generations is a significant part of our heritage and history. It also provides a quiet escape from the rest of the world. Residents enjoy a rural lifestyle here, while visitors enjoy touring local farms and historic sites, canoeing the Tar River, hunting, horseback riding, and other outdoor adventures.

Tar River Land Conservancy protects the natural and heritage resources that make our region a beautiful and healthy place to live, work, play and come home to. We accomplish our goals by working with landowners to secure voluntary permanent conservation easement agreements that protect these resources, which are so important to our communities at large.

WE'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Tar River Land Conservancy is a locally-based, grassroots non-profit organization. Since we were chartered in 2000, we have partnered with dozens of landowners to secure nearly 150 conservation agreements protecting over 12,000 acres of land and 119 miles of creeks, streams and river frontage in our communities. What does that mean? 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 economies. It means that miles of scenic stream and river corridors, wide rolling landscapes and woodlands will be protected forever: for our health, enjoyment and economic well-being.

Tar River Land Conservancy Collaborates with Natural Resources Conservation Service to Implement Wetlands Reserve Program

The Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Edgecombe, Halifax and Nash County Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and the Tar River Land Conservancy are collaborating to implement a “WRP Special Project” in Halifax, Nash and Edgecombe Counties. The project will result in establishing permanent easements which will protect, restore, and enhance wetlands and woodland stream buffers along Fishing and Little Fishing Creeks and the Tar River.
