WHO WE ARE
In 2023, the PFH Conservation Fund led a groundbreaking collaboration, uniting eight local conservation organizations to create the Rural Landowner Manual: A Resource Guide for the Northern Piedmont.
This publication serves as a valuable tool for landowners, offering expert contacts, program listings, and guidance on managing the unique challenges of rural property stewardship. Each participating organization contributed its own insights and expertise, resulting in a resource designed to benefit both long-time residents and newcomers alike.
This site is an expansion of these resources and a way to easily connect with you, our rural northern Piedmont neighbor.
