Triangle Land Conservancy

Since 1983, TLC has been conserving natural and working lands in our six-county region. These abundant and beautiful places are some of our region's most attractive features. The work we do to conserve them is critical to our region's quality of life.

Wherever you live in our region, chances are that you're within easy reach of TLC conservation land. From a white pine forest on the Deep River to a rhododendron-sparkled jewel along Moccasin Creek, from a rare Piedmont prairie in Wake to a verdant dairy farm in Orange, TLC has saved many of the places you love.

We seek a balance between growth and conservation. That means conserving more than 45,000 acres of our most beautiful and sensitive lands—to protect the quality of the water we drink and of the air we breathe, and to leave a healthy environment for future generations to enjoy.

We fulfill our mission by identifying the most important natural and working lands in the region, then using a variety of conservation methods to ensure the permanent protection of the land.

To date, TLC has protected more than 10,500 acres of the most important natural and working lands in the Triangle region. Please visit the our website for details: http://www.triangleland.org.
