About

The North Carolina Coastal Land Trust is dedicated to preserving the natural heritage of North Carolina's coastal communities through strategic land conservation and environmental stewardship. With over 91,000 acres already protected, the organization works to conserve lands with scenic, recreational, historic, and ecological value while promoting education and good land stewardship practices. By partnering with local communities and government agencies, the Coastal Land Trust ensures that pristine coastal habitats and working landscapes remain preserved for future generations. The organization engages residents through environmental education programs, volunteer opportunities, and community events that foster a deeper connection to the natural areas residents love. Through donations, legacy gifts, and corporate partnerships, supporters can directly contribute to the mission of enriching North Carolina through conservation and education in coastal regions.
