In tribute to Dr. Douglass Everhart, Three Rivers Land Trust announces the conservation of his 120-acre farm in Davidson County. Urban development threatens family farms, but his planning ensures Wendy Hill Farm remains untouched for future generations.

Thanks to generous conservation easement donations from landowners, hundreds of acres of productive farmland and large contiguous blocks of forest that are vital to wildlife are now conserved forever.

Thanks to a generous donation from a landowner in Iredell County, TRLT has conserved 25 acres near Lake Norman. The Lake Norman area is one of the most rabidly developing areas in not only Iredell County but the whole United States. This historic property will now be protected for generations to enjoy into the future.

Fort Liberty has partnered with the TRLT to conserve key land parcels. 407 acres in Hoke County were permanently protected, ensuring that training can continue uninterrupted and without future development impact. “Ensuring soldiers have every training advantage is in everyone’s best interest,” says TRLT’s Travis Morehead.
