Piedmont Land Conservancy started as an idea in 1989 when several
long-time residents met around a dining room table to discuss ways they could
make a difference by forever conserving the Piedmont’s most precious natural
assets.
Incorporated in 1990 as a tax-exempt, non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization,
Piedmont Land Conservancy is dedicated to preserving natural and scenic lands,
farms, and open spaces in Piedmont North Carolina to enrich the quality of life
for our communities and for future generations.
Modeled after the North Carolina Nature Conservancy, PLC is not affiliated
with any other organization and is supported entirely by members and friends in
the Piedmont. PLC serves as the only local land trust serving the
Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina.
Representing Alamance, Caswell, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham,
Stokes, Surry and Yadkin counties, PLC builds partnerships with public agencies,
private organizations, landowners, corporations and individuals in order to save
the best of our natural heritage. Since incorporation, the Conservancy has
protected more
than 11,000 acres of land
to be enjoyed by the
current and future residents of these nine counties as well as the people who
travel through the region every year.
