Accelerating the Pace of Conservation

Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report and Progress Made on the 2025 Strategic Action Plan

This year, TLC nature preserves have been more important than ever.TLC nature preserves have never been more important to our community, and they are not possible without you, our incredible supporters. You have made this year — which has been hard for so many — better for thousands of people in so many ways. We cannot tell you how many messages we’ve received that share the same sentiment: TLC nature preserves have been absolutely vital during the pandemic.

Before COVID-19, in October 2019, TLC conserved its largest land project ever — Brogden Bottomlands, a 1,120-acre tract of land in Johnston County, and helped host the national Land Trust Alliance Rally in Raleigh. Throughout the year, staff hosted dozens of volunteer workdays and environmental education programs.

I am proud of TLC staff, board, volunteers, and supporters for the way they have adapted and dealt with these challenging times. Starting at the beginning of this pandemic, we had to postpone (and ultimately cancel) two of our most anticipated events of the year: Wild Ideas for Farms and Forests in March and the Grand Opening of Bailey and Sarah Williamson Preserve in April. Since then, we’ve accomplished so much together. Before March was over, we launched a new webinar series called Conservation Conversations. We’ve been grateful to work with some of our volunteers remotely. We were blown away by everyone’s generosity on our Giving Day on April 22. And we were thrilled to finally open Williamson Preserve to the public in September.

This year, TLC has also redoubled our efforts to ensure outdoor spaces are accessible to everyone in the Triangle — a goal that cannot become reality without actively working to end systemic racism, which for centuries has led to ongoing inequities in access to and enjoyment of the outdoors. As part of this work, we have been planning new initiatives to increase Black land ownership. This project is still in its early stages, but we are excited about where it is headed.

You’ve helped keep us going this year, and we are still working steadily toward conserving 25,000 acres by 2025. We are also getting closer to our goal of 25 new miles of trail by 2025 — we’ve already built 10.5 new miles!

Thank you, always, for your dedication to conserving land and connecting people to nature. Our community has never been more grateful or needed it more.

Sandy Sweitzer, Executive DirectorTriangle Land Conservancy

1,000 from last year.

Bring 2 Farms to Williamson Preserve

TLC’s Williamson Preserve is our first public preserve with active farmers on site. Newbold

Farms was the first to start their operations at the preserve in Nov. 2019, while Leaf & Limb prepared

to launch Project Pando in the fall of 2020.

Support a 100% Increase in Visitors to TLC Preserves

TLC preserves had a record amount of visitors this year. Traffic to our Nature Preserves web

page increased by 172%, and 432 people enrolled in the Hiking Challenge.

Contribute 1,860 Volunteer Hours

While our volunteer activities came to a sudden halt in March, we still had volunteers involved

at TLC’s office and in outdoor education programs, hikes, and workdays before the

pandemic. We realized more than ever how important our volunteers are!

Some board members joined us for a Conservation Conversations webinar in April.


Safeguarding Clean Water

• Continued to work on ensuring clean water for the region through the Jordan Lake One-Water (JLOW) initiative to complete the Jordan Lake Watershed Conservation Strategy, with a focus on the adoption of the strategy by local partners and developing local sources of funding to protect our drinking water resources.

• The strategy was developed in FY19 and:• Will guide local governments and land

conservation organizations in their efforts to protect water quality.

• Sets a goal of protecting 35,000 acres in the Jordan Lake Watershed over the next 35 years.

• More info: triangleland.org/jlow

Connecting People With Nature

• Built 7 miles of new trails at Williamson Preserve, TLC’s new preserve in eastern Wake County.

• Planned an additional 8 miles of trail as part of a joint trail plan at Williamson Preserve and the neighboring River Walk property owned by NC State Parks and managed by the Town of Clayton, as well as 2 miles at the future Brumley East.

• Participation in the TLC Hiking Challenge nearly doubled. TLC nature preserves experienced record traffic because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Launched the webinar series Conservation Conversations and the Triangle Explorer program to encourage kids to spend time learning about the outdoors.

FY20 Highlights and Details

Protecting Natural Habitats

• Partnered with Audubon NC at Horton Grove Nature Preserve as part of Audubon’s Forest Landbird Legacy Program. This program focuses on management practices to benefit bird species in decline due to lack of habitat. TLC increased the suitability of habitat for the targeted species.

• Worked with local nonprofit and government organizations to finalize the Eno-New Hope Landscape Conservation Plan.

• Continued work on longleaf pine restoration at Williamson Preserve with a second For The Love of the Longleaf event — a volunteer workday hosted by TLC, The Longleaf Alliance, and Appalachian Mountain Brewing Co. Volunteers marked trees that had grown since last year and better spaced out the trees during this year’s planting to ensure a better success rate.

• Established the Lee County Conservation Fund.

Supporting Local Farms and Food

• Protected 240 acres of farmland, an important step toward our goal of protecting 3,000 acres of farmland by 2025.

• Brought two farmers to Williamson Preserve:• Newbold Farms LLC brought their first cattle to

Williamson Preserve in November 2019. They are farming at the preserve through Wake County’s NextGen Farm project and NC State’s Center for Environmental Farming Systems.

• Raleigh-based tree company Leaf & Limb brought Project Pando to Williamson Preserve. This volunteer-run tree farm will eventually provide native trees for free in the Triangle.

FY20 Highlights and Details

Staff at Williamson Preserve continued the hard work of trail maintenance and construction to get ready for the opening in September. Our staff has never been more appreciative of our

volunteers as we have been this year! We look forward to when we can safely hold in-person group workdays.
