Submitted by LTLT (Little Tennessee Land Trust), 557 E. Main Street, Franklin NC
In this season of giving, consider an end-of-year gift to help LTLT expand conservation in the headwaters of the Southern Blue Ridge. Read details about current and upcoming projects below. Your end-of-year gift supports the continuation or completion of many of these projects in 2014.
Land Protection
By New Year's Eve LTLT will add another 39 acres and another half-mile
of Little Tennessee River frontage to the North Carolina Needmore State
Game Lands. In addition we have three other land protection projects scheduled for completion by year's end that will add over 500 additional acres to our conservation record. These projects have significant value for conservation: one lies along the Appalachian Trail and another fronts 2800 feet of Nantahala River. |

Streambank and Forest Restoration
|
 LTLT's
Citizen Science programs reach more than 1500 people per year. This
includes stream biomonitoring, bird monitoring and numerous educational
programs for students and community members. With an $84,000 annual
budget cost, these monitoring and education efforts depend predominately
upon funding from individual supporters. |

Looking Ahead
|
The new year will bring a host of new projects and the opportunity to
conserve and protect hundreds more acres of land and miles of
streambank. One new LTLT initiative in 2014 will be taking inventory of
the native brook trout population on private lands in the Little
Tennessee and Tuckasegee watershed. The success of this project and others will depend on the support of donors like you.
