Blue Ridge Country - September/October 2018 - 23

COUNTRY ROADS

Two North Carolina
Land Tracts Preserved
Another 110 acres of North Carolina mountains will be
preserved for ecological health and public enjoyment
thanks to the Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina.
The group partnered with the Tuttle Forest Foundation to
acquire 20 acres in Caldwell County adjoining the Tuttle
Educational State Forest, which features self-guided trails,
and forest and aquatic exhibits. In a separate deal, the
conservancy bought 90 acres in McDowell County and
conveyed the land to the state to expand the Fonta Flora
State Trail. The group also worked with Camp Grier and
Dan and Denisa Allison to secure public access to the
land. There are almost 16 miles of the trail to date, with a
vision to create a 90-mile hiking and biking corridor connecting Morganton and Asheville. "The citizens of North
Carolina enabled us to purchase land that is vital to advancing our state trails when they approved the Connect
NC bond (in 2016)," said Smith Raynor with N.C. State
Trails. foothillsconservancy.org -CAT MCCUE

This protected tract will expand North Carolina's Fonta Flora Trail.
