The Feld Family easements represent three contiguous parcels with a particularly pristine section of Dry Creek running through them. In response to our outreach to landowners along the creek, the Felds not only agreed to protect the 300-foot corridor we requested, but also extended the conservation easement protection to cover nearly all of their holdings.
Located in the southwestern part of the county, this site is several parcels downstream from the Hannan Wildlife Preserve, and helps to build on NCLT's long-term goal of protecting this important corridor for a wildlife migratory corridor.
The Feld's parcels are heavily forested, with good tree canopy over the creek. Wildlife abounds in the area, including a beaver pond just upstream from one of their parcels.
