PAC apologizes for any confusion from the WLOS broadcast and is grateful for the support of the community on this project.  PAC is especially appreciative of the partnerships with the Town of Tryon, the NC Cooperative Extension in Polk County and the Polk County Community Foundation. TJ’s Restaurant provided the use of an outlet for the fence, the Sign Shop created the sign and Re/Max provided a brochure box on site with information about the project.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to protect and conserve the area’s natural resources (PAC’s mission).

PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state and local tax benefits.  PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.
