01.31.08. Unique projects of 2007. SERLC gave protection to ten new projects in 2007. Totaling 1,140 acres, the projects were wide and varied. Some of the highlights include rugged mountain lands with habitat for rare and watchlist species in North Carolina, a miniature gorge in the Alabama Ridge and Valley country, protection of trout stream and wildlife habitat in Georgia, and a unique development-reversal project for public benefit. Glimpses of these projects are given on the Press Release page.

01.31.07. Wetlands protected. Thirty-six acres of important wetlands were protected in the rapidly developing Raleigh NC area. The wetland are contiguous with NC DOT wetland mitigation preservation sites. This will increase the ecological value of both areas in quantum measures. Wake County considers this portion of the watershed to be high profile and worthy of protection.

About Us

The Southeast Regional Land Conservancy, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to protecting our natural resources through conservation easements. Since our founding in 2002, we have protected several thousand acres in projects from the Alabama Ridge & Valley to coastal and piedmont land to the high mountains of the Carolinas. Through these easements we have protected important wetlands, mountain coves and ridges, piedmont forests, stream banks, mountain views, and open spaces.

The Southeast Regional Land Conservancy’s mission
is to work with landowners to protect a
conservation legacy for the future.

The Southeast Regional Land Conservancy’s mission is to work with landowners to protect a conservation legacy for the future.

Much work remains to be done. We are at an important gateway in time for protecting the quality of life for future generations. Every year an astounding 2,200,000 acres of land (USDA Resource Conservation Service data during 1997 - 2001) are lost to development. Once open space is gone, it’s gone. We invite all who care about the future of our region to help us protect our natural resources for future generations.
