Help name the newly protected islands on the Yadkin River
April 2026
Thanks to your support of Piedmont Land Conservancy and Yadkin Riverkeeper, these islands are now protected forever and will host paddlers on the Yadkin River for generations.
What was once at risk is now part of a lasting legacy, preserving clean water, wildlife habitat, and space for people to explore and enjoy.
Now, we have a rare opportunity: to give this special place a name. And we’d like your help.
