Catawba Lands Conservancy is pleased to introduce the Catawba Society, a new giving circle for the Conservancy’s most generous donors.

The Catawba Society is named for the Catawba heritage of our region, including the Catawba River, which originates in the North Carolina mountains and flows through our Piedmont region.   The Catawba Indians of the Catawba Indian Nation depended on the river and its abundant resources for everyday life needs; today, we depend on the river for safe and plentiful drinking water.

Catawba Society supporters are true stewards of our back yard.  Through their leadership gifts of $1,500 or more, members provide significant financial resources to support Catawba Lands Conservancy’s operating fund.  “These generous gifts provide key support to grant writing and land negotiation efforts, which translate into millions of dollars for the purchase of local natural lands,” said Executive Director Dave Cable. “Protected lands preserve not just scenic beauty, but drinking water quality, local farms and diverse wildlife – right here in our corner of the Carolina Piedmont.”
