Located within 0.6 miles
of the previously protected Payne-Smith Riparian Area, PLC protected this
12-acre parcel in 2003. A retired schoolteacher, Vance Pegram wanted to do his
part in protecting the rural and natural character of his community. This
easement protects the water quality of Mears Fork and the wildlife habitat and
open space character that this forested parcel provides. With the completion of
this project, PLC has protected five sites along the Mears Fork Corridor
encompassing approximately 76 acres.
Project funding provided by landowner and the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro.
