The Case for Our Water, Our Land

The need to protect open space in the Triangle has never been more urgent. Between 1950 and 2000, the population of our six-county region tripled to 1.5 million. Our population could double to nearly 3 million people by 2030.

Our community has arrived at a crossroads. Rapid development and population growth create an urgent need to conserve open spaces, farms, and natural areas. At the same time, large tracts of land are coming on the market, creating an unprecedented opportunity to purchase land for conservation.  The time to act is now. We must move swiftly to protect vital lands before they are lost forever.

To improve our capacity to respond quickly and deliberately, Triangle Land Conservancy announces Our Water, Our Land: A Campaign to Conserve our Community’s Natural Heritage.  The campaign seeks to raise $5.5 million for land conservation and management. Funds raised through Our Water, Our Land will provide leverage for other funding sources.
