Foothills Conservancy has long been an effective partner in conservation and the development of North Carolina State Parks in this region. This project at the Whippoorwill Farm is another example of its tenacity and professionalism, and will enhance land protection, water quality and recreation opportunities at Lake James State Park.”
We as individuals can only own land for a while. Sooner or later we will pass on. I feel it is my duty to make plans to turn over the responsibility for this special land in a way that ensures it will be preserved for future generations.
I am grateful to have had Foothills Conservancy’s guidance along the way. What started as a partnership has turned into heartfelt friendships.
