The success of the Palmetto-Peartree Preserve depends on strong partnerships. The Conservation Fund owns and manages the preserve. The North Carolina Department of Transportation provided funding for property acquisition and provides ongoing financial support for management of the red-cockaded woodpecker. The US Fish and Wildlife Service, responsible for endangered species management and recovery, acts as a project advisor, providing oversight and guidance for red-cockaded woodpecker management.
The Conservation Fund has worked with local leaders and community members in Tyrrell County for more than fifteen years protecting biodiversity, conserving natural resources, and facilitating economic development. Through land and easement acquisitions, more than 120,000 acres of critical wildlife habitat have been conserved. The Conservation Fund has simultaneously worked with local partners to develop conservation solutions that balance economic goals with environmental principles.
The following is a list of individuals, organizations, agencies, businesses and institutions that have contributed to the Palmetto-Peartree Preserve and the achievements in Tyrrell County.
