This summer, CTNC is welcoming three Duke University Stanback Fellows, Kevin, Amelia, and Sean.

A few weeks ago, they joined Land Protection Director, Rusty Painter for the first monitoring visit of the summer. This trip took place at Ledge Creek Forest Conservation Area, a Tar River Land Conservancy property that CTNC holds a conservation easement on. Over the next few months, our fellows will be monitoring many other properties and providing valuable insight for our conservation policy outreach. We’re thrilled to have them join the CTNC team this summer!
