Pam Torlina, a field biologist who has worked with Conserving Carolina for 18 years, will explore how the organization has successfully moved nearly 50,000 acres of special lands into permanent conservation, while also planning for public use, continued farm production, clean water, and more. 

Conserving Carolina is based in Hendersonville and its area of concentration stretches from south Buncombe County into South Carolina. A current project includes the rugged Hickory Nut Gorge, where an ambitious effort is underway to protect selected lands and to connect them through an extensive network of trails.

This program is free and open to the public.
