Hall Easement

Approximately 232 acres, Upper Fishing Creek Township, Edgecombe County

In May 2006, TRLC completed its first Edgecombe County land protection
project, placing conservation easements on 232 acres along
Fishing Creek near the Draughn community. TRLC worked with
the property owner, Louise McGwigan Hall of Raleigh, to secure
the easements, which will forever protect four miles of buffers along
the creek, as well as adjacent bottomland hardwoods and cypress
wetlands. The land has been in Ms. Hall’s family since at least
1825. Staff from the NC Natural Heritage Program have rated the
site, which is recognized as part of the Fishing Creek/Enfield Bottomland
Natural Area, as State Significant.

This project was made possible though support from the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
