2021 Year In Review

Catawba Lands Conservancy celebrated its 30th anniversary this year! Thanks to donors and partners like you, the Conservancy over three decades has protected more than 17,000 acres of land and advanced 400 miles of the Carolina Thread Trail, ensuring our region is vibrant and sustainable for years to come. Even during the challenges of the pandemic, both organizations continue to thrive, thanks to your support.
