Wildacres Conservation Easement
Conservation Trust for North Carolina
This project will secure a 1,076-acre conservation easement permanently safeguarding wildlife habitat and water quality on Wildacres Retreat.
Counties Impacted:
- McDowell
- Burke
Conserving high-quality streams, hiking trails and ecologically diverse habitat on Wildacres Retreat between the Blue Ridge Parkway and Pisgah National Forest achieves landscape-scale conservation that's critical as the rate of development in North Carolina increases. Successes like this would not be possible without the commitment of funders like the Duke Energy Water Resources Fund."
