Stevenson Forest ~ 24 acres, Alleghany County
Ruth Carter Stevenson. Donation of Land.
Steep forested slopes within the headwater
region of the Mitchell River Watershed were protected through a donation of land
to PLC in 2000. The land was donated to PLC with specific limitations
placed on what PLC could do with the land ensuring its long-term protection.
Preservation of this site protects the water quality of the Mitchell River and
the views along the Blue Ridge Escarpment. This site is not open to the
public.
Project funding provided by landowner and PLC.
