4 PILLARS OF CONSERVATION

We focus our efforts on these key areas:

Conserving Land

The best way to ensure the health and safety of our natural treasures is by conserving land—largely through donations from the community.

CONSERVE LAND

Your land can make a big difference. And you might be surprised at how simple it is to ensure that your property is part of the conservation solution in Davidson.

Whatever your passion, there’s a place for you at DLC. From sharing your expertise with visitors to planting trees with your family, volunteers are the heart and soul of our mission.

Volunteers have planted over 700 trees—and counting. Helping to restore our tree canopy is an ideal activity for families, groups, and students of all ages.

DONATE

Your support is the reason DLC is succeeding in its conservation efforts. A little goes a long way, and a little more can literally help save our corner of the planet.
