Freidburg Marsh ~ 48
acres, Forsyth County
John Woods, Jr. Sale of Land.
A regionally significant Natural Heritage Site in Forsyth County, this property
contains a 3 to 4 acre wetland that provides habitat for the federally
endangered bog turtle (Clemmys mulenbergii). In 1994, the property was
placed on the market. Due to its conservation significance, PLC and other
concerned parties brought the property to the attention of the North Carolina
Department of Transportation which ultimately purchased the property in 1998 as
a wetland mitigation site.
Project funding provided by the NC Department of Transportation.
