Where Conservation Is a Way of Life

Dozens of communities in Western North Carolina serve themselves up as Nature Preserves. They may put a small parcel of land—10% or less, typically—in conservation and then tout their commitment to responsible development. Preserve Communities is different. They are wholly committed to true conservation at both of their communities: The Preserve at Little Pine (LP) and French Broad Crossing (FBC). Over half the land in Little Pine and one-third of the land in French Broad Crossing is held in trust by Southeast Regional Land Conservancy.
