Clean drinking water

Preservation of North Carolina's unique natural and cultural heritage

Strengthened communities

Jobs and a strong local economy in both urban and rural areas

Clean air

Places to hunt, fish, and watch wildlife

Places to exercise and enjoy the beauty of North Carolina

Less damage from flooding

Preservation of historically and ecologically significant places

Thriving family farms and forests

Our Mission

The Land for Tomorrow coalition works to ensure that the state’s conservation trust funds – N.C. Land and Water Fund, Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) and the Agricultural Development and Farmland Preservation Trust Fund (ADFPTF) are well-funded. Learn how we're making a statewide impact.
