Our communities are facing the challenges of a growing State
As more people find their next opportunity here, weather patterns change, and our position on the eastern seaboard puts more of our neighbors at risk, we must act quickly to protect and restore critical land and water resources.
Our Strategic Vision
A North Carolina, where people across the state know that the lands they love, enjoy, and depend on, are forever protected.
Permanence & Stewardship
Honoring the "Trust" in our name, we protect land across generations, holding in good faith every protected acre and every relationship.
Integrity & Rigor
Our team upholds the highest professional standards and commits to evidence-informed strategies, sound finances, and the honest stewardship of every dollar.
Leadership & Support
We drive outcomes by bringing our strengths to a shared vision and provide support where necessary.
Resilience & Shared Benefit
We protect land important to all North Carolinians, strengthening communities and enabling conservation with proven public benefit.
