Voytek-Parks ~ 33 acres, Guilford County
Anna Voytek and Joan Parks.  Donated Conservation Easement.

This parcel was identified in the Upper Haw Riparian Corridor Design as a high priority parcel for the protection of water quality along the Mears Fork Corridor.  In addition to protecting the riparian area like the Bates and Payne-Smith Riparian Area Easements, this 2002 easement granted also protects adjoining upland pasture.  Protecting the upland pasture ensures that best management practices will be used to minimize upland erosion thereby strengthening the water quality protection of Mears Fork.     

Project funding provided by the landowners, the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund, and the Mott Foundation via the Conservation Trust for North Carolina.
