Our Work

Conservation Priorities

Our work focuses on four conservation priorities: land use and sustainable planning, regulatory reform, sustainable economies and jobs, and monitoring. Each area supports lasting solutions that protect North Carolina’s Piedmont for generations to come.

We support policies that preserve community character and enhance community growth.

  • Strategic land conservation, including farmland preservation and resiliency planning
  • Expanded outdoor experiences for residents and visitors
  • Efficient use of taxpayer funds for regional transportation, like Amtrak services and trails
  • Planning for natural disasters

We support policies that cut red tape to make environmentally friendly decisions easier for communities and businesses.

  • Strategies to help existing industries transition to more sustainable practices
  • Reforms in development regulations to encourage environmentally conscious decisions
  • Efforts to hold state agencies accountable for inadequate protection of natural resources

We support policies that promote industries that are sustainable for the environment and the local communities where they operate.

  • Funding to help farmers reduce the risk of implementing best management practices
  • Cost-effective infrastructure projects that support sustainable and adaptable communities
  • Efforts to ensure new industries enhance community and environmental well-being
