Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Helps Complete Family’s Wishes-Expand Rare Plant Preserve

For the Harris Family, conserving their 55-acre longleaf pine forest in Moore County is a legacy that has been years in the making, and is a true family affair. The patriarch of this family, William Joseph “Bill” Harris, first began talking with the North Carolina Plant Conservation Program (NCPCP) over 12 years ago. He met with then Program Director, Lesley Starke, and discussed his desire to see the property included in the preserve.

Mr. Harris knew how important this tract was for the continuity of the preserve, since it connects two disjunct parcels. Its acquisition would be the critical link needed to help NCPCP better manage the whole preserve with prescribed fire. Prescribed fire is an essential tool for land managers to help restore the fire dependent ecosystem here and improve habitat for rare plants, including Sandhills Lily.

Although Mr. Harris passed away shortly after the application was submitted to NCLWF, his three daughters were intent on continuing with the process and helping realize their father’s dream of seeing the property protected. They continued to work with TRLT, and in spring of 2023 full funding was awarded by the NC Land and Water Fund for the acquisition of the tract. The tract was acquired by Three Rivers Land Trust and immediately transferred to the State of North Carolina in December, 2023.

“The Harris family has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and their commitment to their father’s dream has been truly inspirational,” states Crystal Cockman, Associate Director of Three Rivers Land Trust. “The conservation of this property is due in large part to their patience, vision, and steadfast determination to honor their father’s wishes.”

“Conserving this property helps TRLT accomplish two things; expand public lands by filling in an important missing link and protecting land that likely has rare species found on them,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “Although NCPCP preserves are not open to the public, they are open through guided hikes and by permit. This allows the public to see up close the rare plants and habitats that help make North Carolina such a special place.”

Plant Conservation Program Manager Julian Wilson states: “The North Carolina Plant Conservation Program is very thankful to Three Rivers Land Trust for their work to acquire and donate the Harris Tract for permanent protection at our Eastwood Plant Conservation Preserve in Moore County. The acquisition of the Harris Tract will help to improve habitat connectivity by linking the two sides of Eastwood Preserve and it will allow us to more efficiently and effectively manage the rare plants such as Sandhills lilies and sundews, the longleaf ecosystem and the wildlife habitat contained within the preserve. As our state toast proclaims us the “land of the longleaf pine,” this ecosystem is part of what make North Carolina’s natural areas so unique and special. This project is an important win for the conservation of North Carolina’s rare plants and natural resources.”

William Joseph “Bill” Harris and his wife, Mary Alice Fields Harris were both born and raised in Goldston, NC. After finishing undergraduate degrees at East Carolina and a Masters degree at UNC (Bill) they moved to Miami, FL where they raised their family. After retiring as a supervisor from the Miami-Dade County Public School System they divided their time between Port St. Lucie, Florida and Banner Elk, NC. This land was originally purchased by Bill’s mother, Georgia Reynolds Harris.

This project was made possible by funding from the NC Land and Water Fund, the NC Native Plant Society, the Carolina Bird Club, a generous donation by Tim Peppe, and the support of other TRLT members.  If you would like to find out to conserve your property or support TRLT’s conservation mission please contact Emily Callicutt, Senior Land Protection Specialist, at emily@trlt.org.

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Protects 121-acre Farm in Davidson County

On December 29th, 2023, TRLT protected its 7th farm of the year, a 121-acre cattle farm in Davidson County. This farm, located off of Silver Hill Road in Lexington, brings the total farmland protected by TRLT in 2023 to over 570 acres. TRLT is proud to close out 2023 with the protection of this vital farmland situated in a growing area of the state.

Davidson County and the Town of Lexington are developing areas of the state, making projects like this crucial for sustaining the rural economy and providing food to local communities. The farm has over 81% prime or statewide important soils, meaning the soils are 2-3 times more productive than marginal soils. Landowners Stanley and Donna Hedrick recognized the importance of protecting their farm, leading them to work with TRLT to ensure it remains farmland forever. This farm has been in the Hedrick Family for over 65 years, originally purchased by Stanley’s father. “We are protecting this land in memory of Dwight and Beulah Hedrick Sr., and to ensure it stays as farmland for the next generation of Hedricks,” states Stanley and Donna Hedrick.

“We are so thankful for families like the Hedricks who are committed to ensuring that farmland remains undeveloped and stays in production,” states Senior Land Protection Specialist Emily Callicutt. “Thanks to partnerships with the NC Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Lands Easement Program, and landowners like the Hedrick’s, we can ensure family farms stay family farms.”

“Saving family farms is a core tenet of our mission” states Executive Director, Travis Morehead. North Carolina farmland is some of the most threatened in our nation. The loss of farmland at the current level is unsustainable for our state, and makes projects like the protection of the Hedrick Farm that much more important.”

This project was made possible in part by grant funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the N.C. Department of Agriculture through the Agricultural Lands Easement Program, and the North Carolina Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund. Special funding for TRLT’s Farmland Fund, which makes projects like the protection of the Hedrick Farm possible, were provided by Chick-Fil-A, SC Johnson Company, and Louis Eubanks

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Protects 350 acres on Little River in Montgomery County

The Little River is Montgomery County is certainly a hidden gem in the Piedmont. There are multiple stretches of this river available to paddlers with gorgeous forested stream buffers, and almost no houses or development in sight from the river. However, much of this river remains privately held with no formal protection to ensure this undeveloped treasure remains such in perpetuity. Now, thanks to an acquisition made by Three Rivers Land Trust on December 21, 2023, an additional 350 acres of land along this river will be permanently conserved.

Bald eagles, river otters, great blue herons, little green herons, beaver, cormorant, white tailed deer, a plethora of Neotropical migratory songbirds, and many other species make their homes on the Little River. The high water quality found here and the forested riparian areas make it a perfect spot for wildlife and for paddlers. There are several river put-in locations open to the public that make this river easily accessible, and a popular spot for kayaking and fishing in the Piedmont.

“Three Rivers Land Trust has a focus on protecting local waters, and the Little River in Montgomery County is no exception to that rule,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “Last year we acquired 90 acres on the river, and earlier this year, we worked with another landowner to conserve 80 acres through conservation easement. Now we’ve acquired an additional 350 acres, ensuring that these sections of the river remain undeveloped and forested to protect water quality. Altogether, this represents over 3.5 miles of frontage on the river that is now permanently conserved as a direct result of TRLT’s efforts.”

“This section of the Little River where these 350 acres occur is identified as a High Quality Watershed by the State of North Carolina, with 6 different species of rare mussel known from here, as well as Carolina redhorse and Carolina darter, two state listed fish species,” states Associate Director Crystal Cockman. “In addition, there are unique natural communities found on this land, including Piedmont Basic Glade and Piedmont Coastal Plain Heath Bluff, as well as a rare plant, Mountain Camelia. These lands are truly a treasure worth conserving in our region.”

This acquisition was made possible through a generous donation by Fred and Alice Stanback, and grants from the NC Land and Water Fund, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Enviva Forest Conservation Fund.

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Protects 52-acre Farm in Iredell County

On December 27th, 2023 over 52 acres of land near the town of Harmony in Iredell County were permanently conserved. Three Rivers Land Trust worked to conserve this tract of land in partnership with the generous landowners who donated the conservation easement.

The land is currently a productive tree farm that also provides outstanding wildlife habitat. With a stretch of Dutchman Creek running through this tract, this conservation easement will also contribute towards the further protection of the Yadkin-Pee Dee watershed.

“The rapid rate of development in North Carolina threatens not only our productive agricultural lands and ability to feed future generations but also our native wildlife that utilize these farmlands as habitat,” states Land Protection Specialist Kyle Shores. “Once land is converted for development, it is almost certainly never going to be converted back to agricultural land again.”

“This will be the 6th farm that TRLT has protected this year,” states Associate Director Crystal Cockman. “Agriculture is North Carolina’s # 1 industry; however, North Carolina ranks 2nd in the nation for potential agriculture land loss, according to the American Farmland Trust. In fact, Iredell County ranks 38th in the nation for farmland loss. This is why it is so imperative to protect these farmlands for the benefit of our local community and all of North Carolina.”

This project was made possible through the generous donated conservation easement by the landowners, and the support of Three Rivers Land Trust’s work by its members.

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Protects 3rd Farm in Rowan County in 2023

Earlier this year, Three Rivers Land Trust protected a 93-acre farm and a 50-acre farm in Rowan County, one of which grew small grains and was leased for farming, and one of which was a horse farm that provided equestrian therapy for the local community. Now, on December 20, 2023, Three Rivers Land Trust has worked with yet another Rowan County landowner to conserve their beautiful farm located on Chenault Road, a beef cattle farm situated on 59 acres.

North Carolina is losing farmland at an unprecedented rate. According to the American Farmland Trust, between the years of 2001 and 2016, 732,000 acres of farmland in North Carolina were developed or compromised. That means that NC lost or compromised 5.5 acres of farmland every hour for 15 years. If we continue to grow as we have historically, it is projected NC will lose another 1.1 million acres of farmland by 2040. Rowan County and surrounding counties are facing this development pressure, and that is why it is so important to conserve land here before it is too late.

“This farm was protected through a generous donated conservation easement by the landowner, and they also lease this farmland for beef cattle farming to a neighboring farmer,” states Senior Land Protection Specialist Emily Callicutt. “Leased land is important because many farmers cannot afford to own all the land they farm. Much of Rowan County is facing development pressure from Charlotte and Mooresville, and with that comes higher land prices. Protecting places like this farm is vitally important, to ensure our farmers continue to have acres to grow on to make their business sustainable and viable well into the future.”

“Three Rivers Land Trust has saving family farms as a main goal of our conservation mission,” states Executive Director, Travis Morehead. “Protecting tracts like this 59-acre one helps ensure that we have the foresight to set aside land that will continue to be in production, and provide food and fiber for our local communities. We believe that conserving our farms is essential to maintaining the rural character of our region.”

This project was made possible by a generous conservation easement donation by the landowners, and also by the support of Three Rivers Land Trust’s members who enable the organization to carry out this important conservation work.  If you would like to learn more about how to conserve your property or support TRLT’s conservation mission please, contact Emily Callicutt, Senior Land Protection Specialist, at emily@trlt.org

Three Rivers Land Trust Conserves 50-acre Farm in Rowan County

Conservation properties provide many unique benefits to the environment and communities. Three Rivers Land Trust has focused on three main aspects of conservation, including the effort to expand public lands, save family farms, and protect local waters. However, our most recent conservation project has yet another community benefit as a bonus. This 50-acre horse farm in
Rowan County is not only a beautiful family farm but also provides equine therapy opportunities to the local community.

Equine-assisted therapies are programs where professionals guide clients through activities with horses. There are different kinds of equine programs, and they have different goals for the people involved. Some programs are part of mental health treatment, and in other cases, clients ride horses as part of a physical or occupational therapy regimen. Palmie and Jim Freeze who own this special farm wanted to protect it for the animals and people who use this land in perpetuity.

“Three Rivers Land Trust prides itself on conserving local family farms, and this project does just that, along with providing a special service to the local community,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “So much land in western Rowan County is being developed, that working with great landowners who have the foresight to protect farmland through donated
conservation easements is a core tenant of what we do here at TRLT.” 

“Walking this property, and seeing children enjoying their time with the horses, demonstrates the importance of protecting places like this for future generations,” states Senior Land Protection Specialist Emily Callicutt. “Three Rivers Land Trust appreciates so much the dedication of these landowners to give back to their community, and their desire to conserve their special place so it
will always be available for this use.”

This project was made possible through the generous donated conservation easement by the landowners, and the support of Three Rivers Land Trust’s work by its members.

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Receives $25,000 Grant From SC Johnson

According to the American Farmland Trust, the United States is losing forty acres of farm and ranch land every hour to new development. Since 1982, America has converted 24 million acres of agricultural land to developed uses. This is roughly the size of Indiana and Rhode Island combined. Farmland loss is particularly significant in North Carolina. Four counties in our state are ranked in the top 50 for farmland loss, with Iredell County in central NC ranked 38th in the nation for likely farmland conversion. In fact, 5.5 acres of farmland have been lost or compromised in North Carolina every hour for the past 15 years.

This rapid loss of farmland highlights the significance of much-needed farmland conservation work in our state. Protecting our viable agricultural land from development so farmers can provide for our community’s needs into the future is critical. With this in mind, TRLT is pleased to announce they have received a grant from SC Johnson to support local farmland conservation efforts in the Piedmont and Sandhills of North Carolina.

The $25,000 grant from SC Johnson will be used to continue TRLT’s work with interested farmers in their 15-county footprint to permanently protect their farms through conservation easements. “With more than 60 farmland protection projects in progress currently, TRLT is actively seeking to conserve over 9,600 acres of farmland in the coming years, relying on federal and state grants and private foundations,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “Without the support of TRLT members and funding from organizations like SC Johnson, we would not be able to do this critical farmland preservation work in our region.”

“Protecting farmland protects many other natural resources as well, including wildlife habitat and biodiversity. Preserved farm properties are managed by private landowners using sound soil and water conservation practices that protect the soil from erosion and local surface waters from contamination,” said Crystal Cockman, Associate Director of Three Rivers Land Trust. “TRLT is honored to be recognized by SC Johnson, and we are excited about what’s on our horizon as a result of their support.”

Three Rivers Land Trust Protects Key Link in Abbotts Creek Greenway

Well-designed greenways are a valuable asset for communities, contributing to the economic, social, and environmental well-being of residents. Not only do they connect neighborhoods and offer a safe place for recreation, but they also provide forested stream buffers that help protect water quality and aquatic biodiversity.

In November of 2023, Three Rivers Land Trust conserved a 40-acre property located along Abbotts Creek in Davidson County through a donated conservation easement from an anonymous donor. This property was then transferred to the City of Lexington to be incorporated into the Abbotts Creek Greenway.

This beautiful property provides over 3,000 linear feet of stream buffers on Abbotts Creek and its tributaries. Abbotts Creek flows through the City of Lexington before feeding into High Rock Lake. With its incorporation into the Abbotts Creek greenway, this property will provide valuable public recreation space and contribute to protecting the water quality of Abbotts Creek.

“Increasing public access is a core tenet of TRLT’s mission, and we are excited that the public will have additional recreational opportunities through this project,” stated TRLT Executive Director Travis Morehead. “Protecting local waters is another focus for us, and conserving forested lands along Abbotts Creek provides important water quality benefits for local residents, as well.”

“Projects like this one are vital to providing public access to recreation and green spaces in urban areas,” states TRLT Land Protection Specialist Emily Callicutt. “With the close proximity of this parcel to Lexington and Interstate 85, it is certain that this tract would have been developed if it were not conserved. We are thankful for the anonymous easement donor who made this project possible.”

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Announces Conservation of 93 Acres of Agricultural Land in Rowan County

A 93-acre tract of land off Highway 150 in the Cleveland area of Rowan County provides a stark contrast between two ways of life: agriculture and new home construction. The existing soybean field provides a picturesque backdrop to a new housing subdivision that is immediately adjacent. This dichotomy of uses is another example of the impact of growth NC is experiencing as the nation’s 9th fastest-growing state.

Fortunately, the owners of this tract decided to maintain their rural lands and keep farming alive by electing to place their land in a conservation easement. The property was placed under a permanent conservation easement in a partnership between Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) and the family. This tool allows for the family to continue to own and lease the land for farming, while simultaneously prohibiting it from being developed. “NC agriculture and farmers rely on the ability to lease land for farming” states Travis Morehead, Executive Director of Three Rivers Land Trust. “Very few farmers own all of the land they farm, making farm leases essential in keeping NC agriculture and farmers in business.”

“Saving family farms is a core tenant of TRLT and exemplifies who we are as an organization,” stated Crystal Cockman, Associate Director of Three Rivers Land Trust. “We have a deep appreciation for our local farmers and an understanding of the development pressure NC agricultural lands are facing. This conservation easement ensures that this scenic piece of Rowan County will remain a local example of North Carolina’s strong agricultural industry.”

This family’s dedication to conserving this property underscores the importance of community and conservation working hand in hand to protect the natural beauty and important agricultural lands that define our region. The family protected this land in honor of their ancestors, Edgar Lipe Baker and Marie Krider Baker, who left this property to their care and stewardship.

Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) Awarded Almost $900,000 to Protect Local Waters

When you decide to swim in a local lake, kayak on a scenic river, or drink water straight from your tap, you’re relying on organizations like Three Rivers Land Trust (TRLT) to protect that natural resource. TRLT has conserved over 350 miles of stream frontage in the central Piedmont and Sandhills since 1995. That is longer than the distance from Greensboro to Atlanta.

The NC Land and Water Fund (NCLWF) is a program of the Division of Land and Water Stewardship within the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources. NCLWF awards funding each year to nonprofits, local, and state government agencies across North Carolina to conserve these valuable natural resources. This year, NCLWF awarded TRLT full funding for two projects and provisional funding for three other projects.

The first project will conserve a 204-acre natural area in Richmond County adjacent to the Pee Dee River, protecting this tract’s mature hardwood forest located on five tributaries to the Pee Dee River. “Tracts like this protect water quality by allowing the water to naturally filter pollutants through the area being conserved before entering the stream” states Crystal Cockman, Associate Director of TRLT.

The second project is an 82-acre mature hardwood forest in Davie County with a tributary to the South Yadkin River. The South Yadkin River is a 303d listed impaired stream, so protecting the forest on this tract will help maintain and improve water quality in this watershed. “Three Rivers Land Trust is committed to protecting local waters through conservation easements, just like this one,” states Executive Director Travis Morehead. “The amount awarded for these two projects totals $893,415. We deeply appreciate the North Carolina General Assembly making these funds available so that more of North Carolina’s natural resources can be conserved.”

Three other projects were provisionally funded. This includes a tract that adjoins Raven Rock State Park in Harnett County, a tract that protects a high-quality watershed in Montgomery County, and a tract that protects Toms Branch in Richmond County, for a total of 306 additional acres and a potential total of $1,043,970 in grant monies, should funds become available before next June.

The grant monies will go directly to landowners for the permanent conservation of their properties.
