About this site
Since 2012, CLC has been working to restore this pine-oak savanna at Buffalo Creek Preserve through prescribed fire. By taking photos, we can track the success of these prescribed burns. You should be able to spot native grasses and wildflowers, including the federally endangered Schweinitz's Sunflower, which all benefit from the presence of fire.
About Catawba Lands Conservancy & Carolina Thread Trail
Catawba Lands Conservancy (CLC) is a land trust – a nonprofit, community-based conservation organization that permanently conserves and manages land for public benefit in the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina. We are dedicated to saving land and connecting lives to nature.
Our six-county land protection area includes Catawba, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg and Union counties.
CLC permanently conserves over 190 properties, totaling nearly 17,000 acres of land. That land includes farmland, ecologically rich lands to protect wildlife habitat and local drinking water, and land to provide the public with a direct connection to explore the natural world around them.
CLC is also the lead agency for the Carolina Thread Trail. The Thread Trail is a 15-county, two-state initiative designed to inspire and facilitate the creation and development of a regional network of trails, blueways and conservation corridors that will link more than 2.3 million citizens. Today, over 250 miles trail and 90 miles of blueway are open to the public.
