DescCarolina Thread Trail Program (Thread Trail) is an initiative to develop a regional network of greenways, trails and blueways (paddling trails) that reaches 15 counties in both North and South Carolina centered on the Greater Charlotte metropolitan area. Carolina Thread Trail is a unique 15-county collaboration that will connect communities and conserved land via a network of trails developed through the implementation of locally adopted trail master plans. 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.Carolina Thread Trail is a separate corporation that is a supporting organization of Foundation for the Carolinas. Under a Memorandum of Understanding with Foundation for the Carolinas, the Conservancy acts as the lead agency of the Thread Trail program and was reimbursed $1,357,909 during 2022 for related services. This long-term project will permanently protect this 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 link more than two million citizens with hundreds of miles of greenways and trails as well as access to rivers for paddling in North and South Carolina, connecting points of regional and local significance. There are 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 2022, there were 1,630 planned trail miles, of which, approximately 400 trail and 70 designated blueway miles are complete.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 reference conditions established by the Baseline Documentation Report. Photographs may be taken and a monitoring report is generated and archived or the site visit is documented on 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 already protected.Desc

DescLand Acquisition: Catawba Lands Conservancy (Conservancy) protected three (3) new properties in 2022, totaling 60 acres in two 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

Part II, Line 5: Summarized PolicyThe land stewardship staff inspects each property encumbered by a conservationeasement or similar instrument to ensure compliance with the provisions in the easement document. Staff assesses current conditions and compares findings to thosedocumented by the Baseline Documentation Report. Staff evaluates the status ofreserved rights which may have been exercised since the last site visit. Staff assesses impacts to the conservation values associated with changes in land use onthe easement property and adjacent properties, notes potential trespass issues andsafety hazards, and makes observations on the condition of the boundary. The staff makes additions to the species list (flora and fauna), documentsnew findings and communicates with the appropriate government entity. Specialattention is given to the evaluation of plant or animal species that may be state orfederally listed (endangered, threatened, species of concern, etc.). Staff evaluatesconditions in Natural Heritage Areas and inspects significant historical and/orcultural features conserved by the conservation easement. Post monitoring, anarchival quality report is generated by the staff and includes written observationsand photographs as appropriate.

Property and Easements Acquired for PreservationThe Conservancy may acquire certain property and/or conservation easements throughpurchases as well as through donor contributions. Donors generally contribute 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 retains ownership and management of the property. The conservation easements are permanent and 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 itsundeveloped 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.
