Chatham Conservation Partnership will hold their quarterly meeting on Thursday October 20 with a focus on farmland conservation. The meeting will be from 9:00 a.m.-noon in the auditorium of the Agriculture Building at 65 East Chatham St. in Pittsboro.
The mission of the Chatham Conservation Partnership (CCP) is to develop and implement strategies for a community conservation vision that builds awareness, protection and stewardship of Chatham County’s natural resources.
The focus of the meeting will be on farmland conservation. The Conservation Trust for NC will share a regional farmland conservation assessment and strategy that they have been working on with the help of project partners for the Triangle Region. For this meeting they will share their findings for Chatham County. The Triangle Land Conservancy will share their recent efforts to preserve land within Chatham. We will end by heading up to Granite Springs Farm for a tour of their conservation practices. Our hope is that this will be another opportunity to learn what your community is doing and to get involved in the discussion.
