Land Trust Day 2007 Business Partners
Please join TLC in thanking these businesses for their support
of open space protection in our region.
Great Outdoor Provision Company, an outdoor clothing and gear outfitter with
nine
store locations across the state, continued to anchor our Land Trust Day activities this year.
Seeking to help protect the North Carolina open spaces that are so near and dear to their company's
mission, owners Tom and Becca Valone created the Land Trust Day concept in 1992. They wanted to
contribute to the land protection and stewardship work being done by local land trusts.
This year the company will donate 10% of all June 2nd sales to TLC from its stores
located in Cameron Village, Eastgate Shopping Center, Falls Village and Northgate Mall. And land trusts that
work in the regions where other Great Outdoor Provision Co. stores are located (Wilmington,
