DescLand Acquisition: Catawba Lands Conservancy (Conservancy) protected five (5) new properties in 2024, totaling 126 acres in three (3) counties. The Conservancy works with willing landowners and communities to conserve land in perpetuity by placing voluntary conservation easements on land, accepting donations of land, and occasionally purchasing land. CLC serves a seven-county region in North Carolina that includes: Catawba, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Union, and parts of Cabarrus counties. Our conservation efforts focus on four areas: local farms, wildlife/plant habitat, water quality and connecting people to nature. Additionally, many of our properties have important species and habitat that the state of North Carolina designated as Natural Heritage Areas. Further, some of the properties provide critical habitat for state or federally listed threatened or endangered plants or animals.Desc

DescThe Carolina Thread Trail is an initiative to develop a regional network of greenways, trails and blueways (river paddling trails) that covers 1,600 miles and reaches 15 counties in both North and South Carolina, centered on the Greater Charlotte metropolitan area. It is a unique collaboration that will connect communities and conserved land via a network of trails developed through the implementation of locally adopted master plans that all connect to create a single network. The development of the network is predicated on cultivating partnerships with a variety of entities such as local governments, other non-profits and foundations, and private landowners.This long-term project will permanently protect the region's history, natural beauty, and social diversity, while conserving local lands and fostering free and equitable accessibility for residents and visitors. This includes enhancing bicycle and pedestrian transportation as a viable and convenient choice. The Thread Trail will connect more than 2.5 million citizens in North and South Carolina. It will connect points of regional and local significance. It provides multiple public benefits including economic development, conservation of land, enhancement of water quality, cleaner air, non-motorized transportation, and healthy recreation activities. At the end of 2024, there were 1,630 planned trail miles, of which approximately 435 trail miles and 200 designated blueway miles are complete.Previously, Carolina Thread Trail was a separate corporation that was a supporting organization of Foundation for the Carolinas. As of December 31, 2022, Catawba Lands Conservancy and Carolina Thread Trail merged. The merger eliminated the separate corporate entity for Carolina Thread Trail but otherwise did not affect its goals, objectives, personnel or plans.Desc

DescLand Stewardship: The Conservancy intentionally stewards its conservation assets. Staff monitors activities on fee owned land through site visits. Current conditions are evaluated against the conditions observed by the Baseline Documentation Report at the time of acquisition. Photographs may be taken and a monitoring report is generated and archived and the site visit is documented in a site visit report. As part of perpetual due diligence, the Conservancy ensures the plant, wildlife, and other conservation values remain undisturbed and protected. Where appropriate on fee owned property, the Conservancy provides public access opportunities, including both blueways and hiking trails, independently and through Carolina Thread Trail. Facilities for public access include a canoe/kayak launch (Spencer Mt. River Access and Pharr Family Preserve access), the Adam Springs Portage Trail, and canoe/kayak take-out (R.Y. McAden Access); and natural surface or paved hiking trails at the South Fork Trail, South Fork Rail Trail, Long Creek Preserve, Seven Oaks Preserve, Pharr Family Preserve, Buffalo Creek Preserve, Sallys Y Preserve, Catawba Springs Preserve, Girl Scouts, and Eastover Ridge Preserve. The Conservancy also monitors conservation easements using the same protocols as fee owned land. On private property protected by conservation easements, the Conservancy works with willing land owners to further enhance the conservation values of the protected property.Desc

Part II, Line 5: Summarized PolicyThe land stewardship staff inspects each property encumbered by a conservation easement or similar instrument to ensure compliance with the provisions in the easement document. Staff assesses current conditions and compares findings to the condition of the property documented by the Baseline Documentation Report. Staff evaluates the status of reserved rights which may have been exercised since the last site visit. Staff assesses impacts to the conservation values associated with changes in land use on the easement property and adjacent properties, notes potential trespass issues and safety hazards, and makes observations on the condition of boundaries. The staff makes additions to the species list (flora and fauna), documents new findings and communicates with appropriate government entities regarding findings. Special attention is given to the evaluation of plant or animal species that may be state or federally listed (endangered, threatened, species of concern, etc.). Staff evaluates conditions in Natural Heritage Areas and inspects significant historical and/or cultural features conserved by the conservation easement. Post monitoring, an archival quality report is generated by the staff and includes written observations and photographs as appropriate. Copies of the report are stored on and off site per Conservancy policy.
Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements.Conservation easements received as a gift are recorded at the estimated difference in the market value of the associated property before and after the imposition of the easement. At that time, the Conservancy also records a like amount as an expensesince conservation easements have no future economic benefit to the Conservancy.Donated conservation easements amounted to $3,492,474 and $2,196,547 for the yearsended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Property and Easements Acquired for PreservationThe Conservancy may acquire certain property and/or conservation easements through purchase as well as through donor contributions. Donors generally contribute either fee title to property or contribute conservation easements. Conservation easements are legal agreements in which the landowner gives up some of the rights to their land, such as development, but retain ownership and management of the property. The conservation easements are permanent, run with the land and are binding upon successive owners. Contributions are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the property or easement taking into consideration the fact that the land's use may be severely limited based on the parties' intent to preserve the property in its undeveloped state. Based on these facts, the values of easements shown in the accompanying Statement of Activities are based on independent appraisal or management estimates, if an appraisal is not available.
