Project Summary
The purpose of this report is to assess and document the conservation values of the approximately 1600-acre tract located in West End, North Carolina (Moore County). The research documentation describes the approaches to conservation planning and programming that support the responsible and sustainable stewardship of this property’s unique and high-value land and water assets.
Landscape planning approaches that align conservation policies with management best practices guided the process. The project team considered environmental, social, and economic factors within the surrounding region, including ecosystem services, transportation, infrastructure, population trends and development patterns, and recreation. The resulting analyses investigated existing site conditions; city, state and federal codes and standards; spatial and temporal socio-ecological scales; and conservation-based programmatic uses.
