As development pressures grow in Moore County, landowners Ryan and Brittany Paschal, in partnership with Three Rivers Land Trust, have permanently conserved 88 acres of family land near the Deep River. Because these landowners have chosen conservation over development, this property will always look the same, with open fields and forests, allowing future generations the opportunity to connect with nature, as their family does today.

“We are honored to share that our 88-acre property in Glendon has been placed under a conservation easement with Three Rivers Land Trust. This land is deeply meaningful to our family, having been owned by members of the Paschal and Street families for generations. Ryan’s family roots in the Glendon area stretch back hundreds of years, and this place has long been a part of our shared history. For us, conserving this property is about protecting open space, preserving natural habitats, and ensuring the land remains in its natural state for our children and grandchildren. We are grateful to Three Rivers Land Trust for helping us steward this special place so it can remain untouched and appreciated for generations to come,” said Brittany Paschal.

“We are glad to help the Paschal family meet their conservation goal by permanently conserving their property,” stated Kyle Shores, Senior Land Protection Specialist at Three Rivers Land Trust. “The conservation of this land means that we are also able to achieve one of our core tenets of protecting local waters and wildlife habitat.” Lands like these are only conserved because of willing landowners and partners in conservation who care about conserving the rural landscapes that define the character of North Carolina.
