NC land trusts, Tobacco Trust Fund team to protect working farms

February 25, 2009

More working farms will be conserved through a $150,000 grant from the N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission to the Conservation Trust for North Carolina. The funding is intended to help local land trusts protect 10 farms.

TTFC Executive Director William Upchurch said the new funding will build on land trusts’ recent success in agricultural conservation. The Conservation Trust received a similar grant in 2005, which was used to help eight land trusts protect more than 3,350 acres of working farmland on 26 current or former tobacco farms in 14 counties across the state.
