CTNC’s Cascades Overlook Project Protects 393 Acres in Wilkes County
Expanding protections to water quality, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities
CTNC has secured permanent protection of 393 acres of forestland and headwater streams along the Blue Ridge Parkway with support from the North Carolina Land and Water Fund, Fred and Alice Stanback, and other generous donors.
This achievement safeguards one of the most visible and ecologically significant landscapes surrounding E.B. Jeffress Park, ensuring its beauty and natural integrity will endure for future generations to come.
The protected land lies directly below the Cascades Parking Overlook at milepost 272, a popular destination known for its sweeping mountain views, access to the scenic Cascades Trail waterfall hike, and a family-friendly picnic area. At its closest point, the land sits only 120 feet below the overlook, but sprawls out more than a mile down the Blue Ridge Escarpment to shape both the immediate and long-distance views that millions who travel the Parkway enjoy. Its planned transfer to the National Park Service will guarantee that these scenic vistas will continue to remain pristine and free from development.
This 393-acre property adjoins 440 acres already protected by CTNC and transferred to the National Park Service. CTNC’s continued expansion of protected land around Jeffress Park offers substantial benefits for regional water quality as well. The property contains the headwaters of Fall Creek, a Class C Trout Water that supports native brook trout, robust aquatic life, and recreation opportunities. These headwater streams feed the South Prong of Lewis Fork, the W. Kerr Scott Reservoir, and the Yadkin River, all of which supply high-quality drinking water for hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians. Protecting the upper reaches of this watershed strengthens the health and sustainability of these downstream communities.
Ecological assessments reveal this property’s exceptional conservation value; offering intact forest, large rock outcrops, and numerous moist rock exposures that support a diverse array of native species. Approximately thirty acres of mature, old-growth forest lies along the uppermost elevations adjoining the Parkway, providing critical habitat for wildlife species such as the cerulean warbler. Not only do old-growth trees support biodiversity, but they also stabilize soils and help to regulate local water flow and absorption.
This conservation success also enhances public enjoyment of outdoor recreation. The Mountains-to-Sea Trail follows the property’s northwest boundary, and its protection enhances trail experiences and improves visitor access around E.B. Jeffress Park. With this latest addition, CTNC and partner land trust Blue Ridge Conservancy have now helped protect 1,021 acres of land around Jeffress Park, expanding public accessibility to natural spaces.
Jeffress Park History
E.B. Jeffress Parkis named in honor of the man who helped convince the federal government to route the Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina and helped convince the National Park Service not to charge a fee for access.
Jeffress Park (pronounced “JEFF-rees”) is home to the popular Cascades Trail, the 3,657-foot Tompkins Knob, and one of the Parkway’s largest picnic areas. Easily accessible off Hwy. 421, between Boone and Wilkesboro, it is a popular stop for travelers, and a respite for locals.
Originally barely 500 acres, Jeffress Park is the largest block of protected land along the Parkway between Moses Cone Park and Doughton Park, which are 52 Parkway miles apart. Jeffress Park’s function as a ‘conservation node’ along that narrow corridor of protected habitat is critical to species migration along the Parkway.
In 2004, CTNC sold 32 acres on the south side of the park to NPS, expanding the Blue Ridge Parkway at Jeffress Park for the first time since it was created. In 2016, CTNC purchased an 86-acre track below nearby Elk Mountain Overlook and donated it to the park service a year later. CTNC added another 30 acres in 2023 and a sprawling 408-acre property in 2024. Once transferred to NPS, the recently-acquired 393 acres will bring CTNC’s total to 949 acres added to E.B. Jeffress Park, along with 72 acres added by Blue Ridge Conservancy.
This project reflects a powerful investment in North Carolina’s future by protecting clean water, preserving iconic views, saving critical wildlife habitat, and enriching the outdoor experiences that define the region. Its success was also made possible through generous and gracious support from Fred and Alice Stanback, whose enduring commitment to conservation continues to benefit both the Parkway’s natural resources and its surrounding communities.
Linville Gorge is often called the Grand Canyon of the East, and for good reason. At the head of this federally-designated Wilderness Area lies North Carolina’s most iconic and most-visited waterfall – Linville Falls. The confluence of US Forest Service and National Park Service-Blue Ridge Parkway conservation land around the gorge is impressive, and it will soon grow.
Conservation Trust for North Carolina (CTNC) recently purchased 52 acres at the head of the gorge in the headwaters of Dugger’s Creek, the last tributary entering the Linville River before tumbling over its massive falls. This is an important area for critical wildlife habitats, but it also protects water quality. Development or logging on this land could have had devastating long-term impacts on views from Linville Falls trails, and sent muddy water over Linville Falls and the smaller Dugger’s Creek Falls near Linville Falls Visitor Center.
Many species found on the Protected Wildlife Species of North Carolina list have been observed at Linville Falls and the protected Dugger’s Creek property. Species on the NC Special Concern Species list spotted in this region include the red crossbill, cerulean warbler, brown creeper, and Eastern hellbender. Additionally found is the bald eagle, on the NC Threatened Species list, and the Carolina northern flying squirrel, listed both on the NC Endangered Species list and Federally Endangered. The presence of these vulnerable species is a great indicator of the importance of preserving this region.
The purchase of this property included three platted home sites that would have been visible from trails at Linville Falls, disrupting the pristine viewshed, making the protection of this land even more impactful. The two adjoining properties were bought separately but will soon be added to NPS holdings, expanding on the 356-acre property that CTNC donated to the park service in 2004. Along with another 40 acres protected in partnership with Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina, CTNC has now protected 448 acres at the head of Linville Gorge, enhancing the significance of this National Wilderness Area just off the Blue Ridge Parkway near milepost 316 in Burke County.
CTNC is grateful for the generosity of Howard W. Shields and his children: Carolyn, Burton and John, as well as the Hollinshed family, each of whom sold the properties to CTNC at a notable reduction in price in an effort to see this wild land protected in perpetuity. CTNC is also grateful funding from the NC Land & Water Fund, Fred & Alice Stanback, Ron Thurman, and an anonymous corporate donor.
CTNC Awards Grants to Western NC Land Trust Partners
CTNC awards $112,790 in grants to six land trust partners
In October, CTNC awarded six grants to six local land trusts in Western North Carolina to help them close the final funding gap on land protection projects. Through the Mountain Revolving Loan Fund (MRLF), CTNC is allocating $112,790 that will support partner land trusts in the mountains to protect an additional 4,790 acres.
The CTNC Mountain Revolving Loan Fund has two significant benefits for our partners:
It provides crucial bridge financing with minimal interest to land trusts in Western North Carolina to purchase conservation land and easements. As loans are repaid, the money becomes available to re-lend.
A percentage of the balance of the loan fund is given out each year in grant awards. Grants of up to $25,000 are not required to be paid back. CTNC’s grants help cover transaction-related costs, land management, project administration, and long-term stewardship; often the most difficult project funding to raise.
This marks the 15th year of CTNC’s program! In that time, the program has provided a total of $1,507,000 to eight eligible land trusts supporting land conservation in the Blue Ridge mountains. Grants from CTNC have helped our fellow land trusts leverage more than $99M and protect 21,259 acres through 108 projects over the life of the program.
CTNC is proud to support the work of our amazing group of partner land trusts, and thankful for their conservation successes.
Support the Blue Ridge Parkway’s gateway communities recovering from Hurricane Helene while viewing the vibrant autumnal transformation
Last year, Hurricane Helene left a lasting mark on Western North Carolina. In the face of devastation, these communities responded with unwavering resilience, a testament to the deep-rooted connection between the people and the land they call home. As autumn returns and the mountains turn to the vibrant colors of peak leaf season, there’s no better time to experience the beauty of this region while playing a role in its recovery.
This fall, you can view the fall foliage and mountain scenery while supporting the Parkway’s gateway communities that are actively rebuilding. By visiting local shops, dining at family-owned restaurants, and staying in family-run lodges or inns, you help strengthen the local economies that form the backbone of this cherished landscape.
The “peak week” of fall foliage varies by location and elevation, so it’s important to plan ahead to ensure you can view the leaves at the optimal time. Check out this article for a fall photo tour of the Parkway with milepost locations. This website shares a fall foliage map with the projected timing of peak leaf colors by region.
From our partners at the National Park Service: “Whether leaf color for any given year is classified as ‘spectacular’ or simply as ‘average,’ the display will nonetheless be pleasing to the eye somewhere along the parkway. One reason is the parkway’s amazing diversity of trees. Some 100 species of native trees grow in the southern Appalachians and the majority of these are deciduous. Various species change color at different times over a long fall season.” Read more about when and why the leaves change here.
By permanently protecting critical forestland along the Blue Ridge Parkway, CTNC ensures the land continues to produce clean air and water, safeguarding vibrant plant and animal communities, sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, and providing space for the diverse tree species that produce the extraordinary autumn colors Western NC displays each year.
While you’re on the Parkway this fall, check out a few overlooks and locations with views you helped CTNC protect.
Rainbows in the Mountains: Connecting, Celebrating, and Uplifting CTNC’s Mission Together
This year’s Conservation Celebration was an inspiring evening made possible by our remarkable supporters, board members, and staff. Held at the picturesque Gideon Ridge Inn in Blowing Rock, NC, the event raised more than $70,000 in sponsorships to support CTNC’s mission.
Special thanks to our hostsCobb and Cindy Milner, owners of Gideon Ridge Inn, who generously donated their warm and remarkable Inn to host 85 of our closest friends. Once again, we were treated to amazing heavy hors d’oeuvres and drinks thanks to Chef Hunter Womble and his team. We are very appreciative of the time and effort they dedicate to making this evening a night we all look forward to returning to year after year.
We were fortunate to have conservation partners from the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNR) present at the event. Secretary Pam Cashwell and Chief Deputy Secretary Maggie Thompson expressed their dedication to protecting North Carolina’s natural resources and underlined the importance of partnerships to safeguard the state that we all call home. CTNC is grateful for Secretary Cashwell, Chief Deputy Secretary Thompson, and Special Assistant Holly Nelson taking the time to join us in Blowing Rock and sharing their drive for conservation.
We were grateful and excited to be joined by members of our conservation network spanning across the state, including George Ivey, Director at the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, Scott Elliot, Deputy Director for Engagement at the Governor’s Recovery Office for Western North Carolina (GROW NC), Will Morgan, Lobbyist with The Raleigh Group, and Toby Hampson, North Carolina Court of Appeals Judge.
“Like you, I’ve watched North Carolina grow and change. I’ve also watched our climate change and our communities struggle to adapt. Of course, we want to welcome some of that growth and some of that change. But for me, knowing that there is an organization like the Conservation Trust for NC, working every day to protect these special places, does my heart good.”
Bill Leslie, Board President
We’re thankful to everyone who joined us to celebrate conservation, and we look forward to gathering with even more of our community next year. CTNC extends a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, your generosity makes this work possible.
Highlights of our interns’ experience of hands-on fieldwork and community connections
Each summer, CTNC welcomes interns from Duke University to play a role in land protection and community resilience work. The Stanback Fellowship Program is a collaborative initiative linking the Nicholas School of the Environment with nonprofit environmental organizations. This summer, Victoria Thompson and Sam St. Lawrence joined CTNC through the program.
Victoria worked on the Land Protection team as a Land Protection Assistant. Sam worked on the Resilience team as a Market Research Fellow. Both fellows provided a valuable role in developing new ideas and building CTNC’s capacity to continue our conservation mission.
Victoria Thompson, Land Protection Assistant
Throughout the summer, Victoria gained hands-on experience with the ins and outs of land conservation across the state. Over the course of her time with CTNC, she monitored 36 protected properties spread across 17 counties.
One property that left a lasting impression on Victoria was the Orchard at Altapass, a historic site along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Once at risk of being lost to development, the orchard was preserved through conservation efforts and now thrives as both a working orchard and a community hub. Victoria recalled a memorable day spent helping post NC Land and Water Fund boundaries with a colleague before enjoying the community-centered offerings of the orchard. For her, the orchard symbolized the long-term value and joy that conservation can bring to both landscapes and people.
Her biggest takeaway from the position was the complexity and collaborative nature of land conservation. Every project involves a web of ecological, legal, financial, and interpersonal components. Watching the CTNC team bring those elements together helped her understand the diverse skillset land trust professionals must possess.
While she expected to focus primarily on field work monitoring properties and GIS mapping, she quickly learned that relationships with landowners, conservation partners, and community members are at the heart of successful land protection. The experience not only affirmed her desire to pursue a career in conservation but also showed her that she was capable of meeting the demands of that path.
Sam St. Lawrence, Market Research Fellow
Over the summer, Sam joined as the first Stanback Fellow of her kind at CTNC. With the role of Market Research Fellow, Sam saw the position as an opportunity to bring her love for numbers and research into a new field while also learning more about North Carolina beyond the region she calls home.
Sam’s work focused on compiling and analyzing internal CTNC documents alongside publicly available data from current and potential partners. Her research painted a detailed picture of CTNC’s partnerships and opportunities for growth in community resilience work. One insight that stood out was the potential for stronger regional collaboration. While some areas of the state have already embraced cooperative resilience projects, Sam believes there’s room for more interconnected efforts and statewide solidarity, especially as climate impacts increasingly affect communities across the state.
When it comes to addressing climate change, Sam sees community-driven solutions as inherently flexible and rooted in local needs. Whether it’s a community garden, increasing public green space, or car-free zones, the key is listening to and incorporating ongoing feedback from the people most affected.
Sam’s biggest personal takeaway was learning to balance the analytical side with the humanistic aspects. Initially inclined to focus solely on numerical data, she challenged herself to also understand the personal connections and mission alignment between CTNC and its partners. This broader perspective not only enriched her research but also revealed the non-quantifiable value that some partnerships provide.
Year after year, our Stanback Fellows add new perspectives, ideas, and skills to enhance our work and uphold CTNC’s mission. Victoria and Sam’s contributions this year are a testament to how young professionals can both learn from and strengthen land protection and community resilience initiatives. By welcoming these emerging leaders, we not only expand our capacity to serve North Carolina’s people and landscapes but also invest in the next generation of conservationists.
After more than a decade, North Carolina has revived a powerful way for landowners to protect the places they love and get something meaningful in return.
Starting in 2025, the North Carolina Conservation Tax Credit will once again reward landowners who choose to preserve farmland, forestland, wildlife habitat, and other valuable landscapes. The program provides a state income tax credit of up to 25% of the fair market value of donated land or conservation easements. That means landowners can receive a tax break worth up to $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for C Corporations when they permanently donate qualifying property. Credits received may vary depending on the number of qualified applicants.
This isn’t just good news for landowners, it’s good news for North Carolina. For thirty years, from 1983 to 2013, this program helped protect over 262,000 acres across our state. It was a smart investment, too: for every dollar in tax credit issued, North Carolina received at least six dollars’ worth of conserved land. Now, thanks to action from the General Assembly, the program is back for qualifying donations made in 2025 and 2026.
It’s important to know that: All approved applications from the same year will be reviewed at the same time. If the total amount of tax credits requested is more than the $5 million limit for the year, each person will get a smaller share based on what they requested. Donations of farmland and forestland will be given priority for the first $3.25 million in tax credits each year.
As a proud member of the Land for Tomorrow coalition, Conservation Trust for North Carolina helped advocate for the return of this tax credit. Alongside fellow conservation partners from across the state, we worked to show lawmakers how this program supports farmers, strengthens local economies, and protects the lands and waters that make North Carolina so special. We’re proud to have played a part in bringing this critical tool back to life.
What Is the North Carolina Conservation Tax Credit?
The Tax Credit offers a state income tax credit for donations of land or conservation easements made in perpetuity for conservation purposes, such as preserving working farmland, forestland, wildlife habitats, historic landscapes, or providing public access to trails. A landowner interested in the tax credit would begin by contacting a local land trust, nonprofit, or government agency that’s qualified to accept land donations and can assist them with the process. Land must be certified by the NC Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR) that it provides a public benefit before the NC Department of Revenue approves a tax credit. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program has set up a webpage with details: https://www.ncnhp.org/conservation/conservation-tax-credit
Who Can Benefit from the Conservation Tax Credit?
Donations must be made in perpetuity and serve a recognized conservation purpose, such as preserving working farmland or forestland, supporting wildlife conservation, protecting historic landscapes, or providing public access to trails. There are also special provisions for floodplain protection in counties affected by recent natural disasters, as well as for land that buffers military bases and training areas.
Importantly, the program isn’t first-come, first-served. All eligible, certified applications received for a given year will be considered together, and tax credits will be distributed proportionally if the total demand exceeds the $5 million annual program cap. Donations of farmland and forestland will receive priority consideration for the first $3.25 million in credits each year.
How to Apply for the NC Conservation Tax Credit
Although application forms will not be available until mid-July 2025, landowners can begin preparing now. Donations made any time in 2025 will be eligible, as long as applications for certification are submitted by January 15, 2026, and tax credit applications are filed by April 15, 2026. Approved credits can then be used starting in the 2026 tax year, which is filed in 2027.
It’s essential to note that while the program cannot guarantee the exact percentage of tax credit a landowner will receive, as this depends on the number of applicants, every certified donation will be awarded some level of credit. Protecting land is a reward in itself. You’re preserving something real, something lasting, and something that will benefit your community and our state for generations to come.
CTNC and the state’s local land trusts work collaboratively to protect land in their respective communities. If your property lies along the Blue Ridge Parkway, please contact CTNC’s Land Protection Director, Rusty Painter, at rusty@ctnc.org. To learn about protecting your property in North Carolina, email the state program at ctc@dncr.nc.gov or refer to the map here to determine which land trust is best suited to protect your land.
The Conservation Tax Credit is a chance to do something big – for your land, for your family, and for North Carolina. Let’s make the most of it.

Developments to Cranberry Creek Preserve enriching local ecosystem
In the hills of eastern Ashe County near Glendale Springs, CTNC’s Cranberry Creek Preserve is a hidden gem along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Spanning 200 acres and hugging the Parkway for nearly a mile and a half, from milepost 249.5 to 251, this protected property has recently undergone an exciting transformation that will benefit downstream residents, hikers, wildlife, and the environment.
CTNC’s Cranberry Creek Preserve previously held a failing earthen dam that blocked an unnamed tributary of Cranberry Creek. Now that it’s removed, the stream flows freely for the first time in nearly 75 years, restoring natural hydrology to the area. This ecological enhancement to the flowing channel of the stream will support brook trout and many other native species.
Brooktrout,Salvelinus fontinalis, are the only native species of trout in North Carolina. Found primarily in the high elevations of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains, these fish prefer pristine, cold streams with rocky bottoms and dense overhanging vegetation. Often referred to as “speckled trout” by locals, brook trout are known for their vibrant coloring and delicate size. Learn more about brook trout.
Brook trout caught by a fisheries biologist directly below the dam prior to its removal. Soon, these fish will be able to migrate further upstream and enjoy cooler, cleaner water.
CTNC is also partnering with Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail to prepare Cranberry Creek Preserve to host a re-route of a key section of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail . Currently, this popular hiking route crosses the Parkway motor road twice along this stretch, hugging the edge of the road in some places. The planned re-route will eliminate the need for those road crossings and take hikers off the shoulder and into the peaceful woodlands of Cranberry Creek Preserve—offering a safer and more immersive experience in nature.
CTNC plans to transfer ownership of the preserve to the National Park Service, ensuring its permanent protection as part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. This transition not only safeguards the land for generations to come but also opens it to enhanced recreational use and ecological restoration.
A floodplain reimagined into a community garden takes root
On April 19, Princeville, NC celebrated an exciting milestone with the opening of the Princeville Community Garden. With nearly 70 community members coming and going throughout the day, the event was a joyful celebration of collaboration, connection, and growth.
The opening event featured grilled food, garden-themed kids’ activities, a seed giveaway, and an art display featuring the creative talents of Princeville Elementary students. The exciting and collaborative day couldn’t have been made possible without the support of the Town of Princeville, Resilience Corps NC, Freedom Org, MOSS Kids, Princeville Elementary. Catering was provided by Big Bones Meat Market, My Jnlle’Z, and SuSu & Kizzie’s Sweet Treats.
The garden itself represents more than a place to grow food. It’s the result of years of thoughtful planning and collaboration. The garden is a key outcome of the land use plan developed in partnership with the NC State Coastal Design Lab and Town leaders. Located on land purchased through FEMA’s buyout program, this area could no longer be developed for commercial or residential use, but thanks to the vision of leaders and residents in Princeville, it’s now a vibrant community space.
The garden also stands as a reimagined nature-based solution to mitigate flood damage and restore the land to a meaningful and productive use. To support stormwater management, the garden space will act as a rain garden as well. This is especially impactful as Princeville is located in a vulnerable region along the Tar River with devastating flooding events in the past. With this parcel of land reconstructed into a community garden, the benefits exceed just harvesting fresh fruits and vegetables.
CTNC was honored to have played a role in turning a community garden idea into a reality. CTNC’s Resilience Corps NC service member, Anyah Brown, has assisted with the creation of the garden throughout her term.
Mayor Bobbie Jones and Commissioners Vananza Brown, Joe Myrick, and Lee Staton shared their support for this collaborative achievement through their time and attention. Cynthia Satterfield, Erin Witcher, and Beth Mullenberg joined the celebration as representatives for CTNC, highlighting the tangible difference made by Resilience Corps NC in North Carolina communities.
This area dedicated to growing fresh and healthy food and connecting with others will foster a greater sense of community in the Town of Princeville for generations to come.
