Mission

Piedmont land conservancy protects our region's natural lands, family farms and waters for the benefit of all living things through land protection, stewardship of conserved spaces, and connecting people with nature. We envision a healthy, thriving region with abundant clean waters, productive farmland, and sustainable wildlife habitat, enabled by a network of permanently protected lands.plc works with willing landowners to permanently protect important land resources through conservation agreements, acquisition of priority conservation lands, and stewardship of previously protected lands. These strategies help preserve family farms, maintain clean waters, protect special natural areas, and enhance publicly accessible lands. Plc connects people to nature through education, outings, and trail access to protected properties and nature preserves.
