Quail Hill Farm Riparian Area ~ 20 acres, Surry County
Tracy and Deanna Hayes. Donation of Conservation Easement.
Located on the main stem of
the Mitchell River below Kapps Mill, Quail Hill Farm has been in the Hayes
Family since 1875. Tracy grew up working the land, learning about nature and
how to fish, hunt, and trap on this and other family lands. Donating a 300-foot
wide linear conservation easement along the Mitchell River to PLC in 2002 to
protect the forested riparian buffer was an easy and natural decision to make
for the Hayes Family.
Project funding provided by the landowner and the NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund.
