12. The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust

The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust works with private individual and corporate landowners on a voluntary basis to conserve lands with scenic, historic, recreational and/or ecological value. The mission of the Coastal Land Trust is to enrich the coastal communities of the state through the acquisition of open spaces and natural areas, conservation education and the promotion of good stewardship. The Coastal Land Trust is active throughout the coastal plain of North Carolina; its beaches, river corridors, farms, forests and marshes; its sandhills and savannas, its public parks and greenways. The Coastal Land Trust aspires to bring together citizens and landowners, natives and newcomers, to set aside lands for conservation. The Coastal Land Trust is working to save the lands you love at the coast!

This project was made possible by donations made to the Coastal Land Trust in memory of Dave Richie by his family, friends and colleagues.
