Our mission is to conserve local natural areas, rural landscapes, family farms, scenic rivers, and historic places within North Carolina’s central Piedmont and Sandhills.
Local Focus
We achieve our mission through three main areas of local focus.
Expanding
Public Lands
As North Carolina’s population grows, the need for recreational land increases. We expand local parks, state parks, national forests, and gamelands.
Saving
Family Farms
Local farms feed us, clothe us, contribute to our local economy, and define our region’s rural character, which is why we work to permanently conserve them.
Protecting
Local Waters
Protecting land along local rivers and streams sustains the quality of our region’s drinking water and provides opportunities to swim, paddle, and fish.

Protection
When a local property is conserved with TRLT, it’s protected forever.
We protect land primarily through Conservation Easements. This ensures properties remain undeveloped forever, regardless of who owns the land in the future.

Ways to Give
We depend on the financial support of individuals, corporations and foundations committed to conserving our region’s natural resources.
There are many ways to support our mission, including recurring gifts, one-time donations, tradelands, and more.
16:1 Donation Matching
For every $1 we receive, we leverage an additional $16 from other sources for local conservation projects.
Sportsman Access Program
You. Game. Private land.
With the Three Rivers Sportsman Access Program, it’s pursuit on your terms. This one-of-a-kind lottery permit system gives members the opportunity to hunt on nearly 4,000 acres of conserved land in four counties.
