Abstract:

Watts describes the Tar River Land Conservancy's efforts to preserve the delicate balance of nature in the Piedmont by protecting the Tar River's upper basin. Conservation easement is one of the primary approaches in preserving lands with conservation significance. In its first seven years of operation, the TRLC has helped landowners protect 7,850 acres and 425,000 stream feet, or just over eighty miles of river.
