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.
