Land Protection Program

Protecting and conserving land can be a great legacy for a landowner.

The Eno River Association has worked since 1965 to protect the nature, culture, and history of the Eno River Basin. We are the only private non-profit working to protect the Eno River. We operate our land protection program in number of different ways, including working to expand the holdings of the local and state parks, as well as working with private landowners to help them protect the natural, cultural, scenic, and historic resources of their property while achieving their objectives for their property, including realizing certain tax and financial benefits. The Association also owns and manages land throughout Durham and Orange Counties.

What Types of Properties are Appropriate for Land Conservation?
The Association is interested in protecting a wide range of properties, whether it’s a 100+ acre farm or a 1-acre tract along the Eno River. If your property is within the Eno River Basin and has river or stream frontage, woodlands, fields, or cultural or historical resources, we would be more than happy to speak with you.
