IN 2018, TLC SET A GOAL TO STRATEGICALLY AND PERMANENTLY PROTECT AND STEWARD 25,000 ACRES OF LAND ACROSS THE TRIANGLE BY 2025, WHICH IMPLIED DOUBLING THE PACE OF OUR CONSERVATION WORK. AS OF JUNE 30, 2024, WE REACHED 25,195 ACRES, SURPASSING OUR GOAL, AND WE HAVEN'T STOPPED CONSERVING AND CARING FOR LAND.IN FY24, TLC FINALIZED A HISTORIC LAND DEED TRANSFER OF 177 ACRES TO URBAN COMMUNITY AGRINOMICS--A NONPROFIT COMMITTED TO ENGAGING THE NORTH DURHAM COMMUNITY WITH AGRICULTURAL SKILLS AND PROVIDING THE COMMUNITY WITH ACCESS TO FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THIS WAS THE FIRST PROJECT WITHIN OUR GOOD GROUND INITIATIVE, WHICH HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR TLC TO CONSERVE 227 ACRES OF FARM AND FOREST LAND FOR HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED FARMERS AND LAND SEEKERS.AS THE NORTH CAROLINA POPULATION CONTINUES TO GROW, TLC WILL CONTINUE TO CONSERVE THE ECONOMIC, ECOLOGICAL, AND SOCIAL BENEFITS THAT OUR OPEN SPACES AND NATURAL LANDS PROVIDE. TLC IS PROUD TO BE PART OF THE NETWORK OF LAND TRUSTS ACROSS THE STATE THAT WORK TO CONSERVE AND PROTECT LAND AND MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES MORE CLIMATE RESILIENT.CONSERVATION STRATEGIES: IN FY24, TLC PROTECTED 1,544 ACRES OF PRIORITY CONSERVATION LAND, BRINGING OUR TOTAL TO 25,195 ACRES, SURPASSING THE GOAL SET FOR 2025 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. TLC NOW STEWARDS NEARLY 7,600 ACRES ACROSS 89 OWNED PROPERTIES AND PROTECTS 10,684 ACRES THROUGH 184 CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. EACH OF THESE CONSERVATION PROPERTIES SUPPORT AT LEAST TWO OF THE FOUR BENEFITS THAT TLC PRIORITIZES: SAFEGUARDING CLEAN WATER, LOCAL FARMS AND FOODS, NATURAL HABITAT, AND CONNECTING PEOPLE WITH NATURE. CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE LEGAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN A LANDOWNER AND A LAND TRUST THAT LIMIT USES OF THE LAND IN ORDER TO PROTECT ITS CONSERVATION VALUES IN PERPETUITY. SPECIFIC TERMS OF INDIVIDUAL EASEMENTS VARY, BUT IN GENERAL THEY LIMIT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.NOTABLY IN FY24, TLC PERMANENTLY PROTECTED 340 ACRES IN THE "HARRICANES". THIS AREA, LOCATED NEAR FALLS LAKE IN NORTHERN WAKE COUNTY, WAS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES FOR PROTECTION IN THE ORIGINAL 2005 RALEIGH WATERSHED PROTECTION PLAN. IN TOTAL, TLC HAS NOW PROTECTED CLOSE TO 700 CONTIGUOUS ACRES IN THIS AREA. THIS ACQUISITION, WHICH INCLUDES TWO ADJACENT TRACTS PURCHASED IN FY23, HELPS ENSURE CRITICAL WATER QUALITY PROTECTION OF THE CITY OF RALEIGH'S MAIN DRINKING WATER SUPPLY. IT WAS ALSO THE LARGEST CONTIGUOUS PARCEL OF LAND REMAINING IN THE CRITICAL AREA OF THE FALLS LAKE WATERSHED.IN FY24, TLC PERMANENTLY PROTECTED 12 FARMS ON 1,120 ACRES, INCLUDING A MIX OF TRADITIONAL ROW CROPS, PRODUCE PRODUCTION AND SUSTAINABLY MANAGED FORESTS. TLC GREW THE GOOD GROUND INITIATIVE (GGI) PROGRAM THROUGH COLLABORATIONS WITH PARTNERS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND CONSERVED AND DESIGNATED 227 ACRES OF FARM AND FOREST LAND FOR TRANSFER THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. 1084078 126094 57273 TLC'S STEWARDSHIP RESPONSIBILITIES CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN FY24: CURRENTLY TLC HOLDS 184 CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ON 10,684 ACRES AND OWNS 7,584 ACRES OF LAND. AS AN ACCREDITED LAND TRUST, ALL 18,268 ACRES MUST BE MONITORED, MANAGED, AND STEWARDED BY TLC STAFF ANNUALLY TO ENSURE THAT THE EASEMENT TERMS ARE NOT VIOLATED AND OWNED PROPERTY IS BEING MAINTAINED. IN ADDITION TO 255 HOURS OF STEWARDSHIP STAFF TIME SPENT IN MONITORING, WE CONTINUE TO HAVE ENLISTED AND TRAINED VOLUNTEERS THAT HELP TO MONITOR SOME PROPERTIES. AFTER COMPLETING A TRAINING PROGRAM, VOLUNTEERS USE A MONITORING AND MAPPING APP AND GO ON AT LEAST ONE MONITORING VISIT WITH A TLC STAFF MEMBER BEFORE BEING ELIGIBLE TO MONITOR EASEMENTS ON THEIR OWN. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)IN FY24, TRAINED VOLUNTEERS CONTRIBUTED 196 HOURS MONITORING 51 OF TLC'S EASEMENTS.IN FY24, TLC CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN THE 54 MILES OF TRAIL (28 FOR HIKING AND 26 MULTI-USE TRAILS) AT OUR PUBLIC NATURE PRESERVES WHICH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ENJOY EVERY MONTH.
