Exciting conservation news! 🌿TLC has protected 69 acres next to our Sarah and Bailey Williamson Nature Preserve.

The Neuse River Connector protects one of the last undeveloped areas in the heart of the Shotwell community. This addition expands contiguous protected acreage at Williamson preserve, creating more wildlife corridors and widening buffers around the streams the feed the Neuse River.

In the future, we plan to add walking trails and a new public access point connecting the preserve to the Neuse River Greenway, which is part of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Thank you to our partners at Novo Nordisk and the N.C. General Assembly for helping protect this land forever. 🌳💙

Please note: The property isn’t open to the public yet. Stay tuned! Learn more about this conservation win at https://triangleland.org/news/tlc-protects-69-acres-of-cultural-and-natural-importance-in-the-marks-creek-priority-area

Today is day. Protect the places you love 💙

People everywhere are increasing the impact of their Donor-Advised Funds by giving together, and we’re thrilled that TLC is part of this nationwide day of generosity. If you have a DAF, this is a perfect time to recommend a grant to TLC and help protect the places that make this region so special.

Every grant recommended through your DAF protects natural habitats and safeguards clean water, and local farms. Together, we're protecting the places we all love. Contact your DAF administrator and recommend a grant for TLC today!

As you stroll or bike at Brumley South Nature Preserve, you may find yourself in awe of this towering forest giant. 🌳

The eastern white oak (Quercus alba), easily identified by its lobed leaves with no bristles, can reach heights of 135 ft! These native hardwoods are deciduous, which means they shed their leaves each fall to save energy during the cold winters. 🍂 As Amaya mentions in this video, the acorns of white oaks are edible to humans, but only after tannins are leached or boiled out, so we advise against grabbing a quick snack right off the tree. Where have you spotted an Eastern White Oak at TLC's preserves?

📱 Have you noticed these acronyms on your kid’s phone lately?

They might say they’re just catching up with a friend, but don’t be fooled. The real conversation? Local land conservation. 🌿

The end of summer brings shorter days and, eventually, cooler weather. It also marks the beginning of fall migration! 🍂

Twice a year, billions of birds across North America embark on journeys of all lengths and destinations in search of plentiful food and nesting resources. In the fall, many birds leave their summer breeding grounds for their wintering grounds as insects and other food sources become less abundant.

The White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) featured here is one of the many species you may spot arriving for the winter at a TLC nature preserve. 🐦 Read more about fall migration and find tips for how you can support and protect birds this time of year at https://triangleland.org/blog/fall-migration-is-here

📣Horton Grove Nature Preserve will be closed today October 1 so that TLC staff can safely conduct a prescribed burn. Fire is an effective and safe management tool when used in the right conditions by trained professionals.

We will be burning both grassland and woodland habitats. The purpose of burning these habitats is to promote warm season grasses and forbs, reduce woody plant competition, promote oak regeneration in the surrounding woodlands, and improve habitats overall Please do not enter the preserve so that we can conduct this burn safely. Thank you!

Today is ! 🌳

With more than 59 miles of walking and mountain biking trails at our public preserves, as well as hundreds of events each year designed to get people outside, TLC strives to connect people with nature. Time spent outdoors can lower blood pressure, enhance the immune system, increase self-esteem, and reduce anxiety. 🚴‍♀️🥾

Visit https://triangleland.org/get-outside to discover your new favorite hiking trail at one of TLC's eight public nature preserves! Where will you explore next?

🌿 Last week, members of our team had the opportunity to attend the Land Trust Alliance RALLY Conference in Denver, Colorado. 🌎✨

This incredible event brought together land conservation professionals from across the country to learn, connect, and strengthen our shared mission. Members of TLC's staff presented on the innovative work we are doing in the Triangle, and our team came back energized, full of new ideas, and inspired by the powerful work happening nationwide.

We’re excited to put what we learned into action as we continue protecting the lands we all love. 💙
