The mission of the Coastal Land Trust is to enrich the coastal communities of North Carolina through conservation of natural areas and working landscapes, education, and the promotion of good land stewardship. In short, we save the lands you love along the North Carolina Coast.
The Coastal Land Trust is a high-performing, accredited, regional land trust with a reputation for excellence. Established in 1992, we serve the 31 counties in the coastal plain of North Carolina, and we save special places in the coastal plain like barrier islands, create nature parks and preserves, protect family farms, and restore longleaf pine forests.
