Local businesses join GOPC
in supporting TLC
For more than 10 years, Great Outdoor Provision Company (GOPC), the Raleigh-based outdoor gear retailer with seven stores across North Carolina, has set aside the first Saturday in June to donate 25 percent of all sales to local land trusts.
In the last two years the effort has moved beyond the simple 25% donation to the broader concept of a “Land Trust Day.” Still held the first Saturday of June, the new program included raffles to support local land trusts and statewide land conservation projects, membership drives at GOPC stores, and the seeds of a program to include other businesses.
In 2004 those seeds are beginning to take root.
Thanks to the continued generosity and support of GOPC owners Tom and Becca Valone, along with the energy and commitment of volunteers Steve Joyce, Susan Joyner and Keith Levene, Land Trust Day 2004 has become a regionwide presence.
Businesses in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill have signed up to participate in a variety of ways—donating a percentage of sales, donating gift certificates for a TLC membership drive, sponsoring a TLC benefit concert, or making a cash donation.
TLC sends many thanks to all of our Land Trust Day 2004 business partners! And we ask that our members and friends support the local businesses that are supporting your local land trust!

Land Stand:
Rockin’ for TLC
Cat’s Cradle music club in Carrboro will host a Land Trust Day benefit concert for TLC on Saturday, June 5.
“Land Stand” is the brainchild of Keith Levene. Levene approached TLC in January with the idea of putting on a concert that would benefit land conservation in the Triangle region. He also wanted to introduce TLC and our work to a new audience—the 20- and 30-somethings tuned in to the local music scene.
“I think the land conservation message will strike a chord with this audience,” Levene said.
Since February Levene has been working behind the scene to set up the concert. He arranged for a Cat’s Cradle date on June 5, timed in concert with Land Trust Day. He enlisted the help of Cradle-owner Frank Heath and Merge Records co-owner Laura Ballance in lining up bands. And he knocked on the doors of local businesses to drum up sponsorship for the show. About all he hasn’t done is strap on a guitar and play for money on the street!
