Nature Preserve Expanded
Protects Rapidly-Developing Area
With the purchase of 37 acres, the expanded Coastal Land Trust’s Brice’s Creek Nature Preserve now totals more than 60 acres in Craven County near James City, NC.
“This nature preserve is located in a rapidly-developing part of Craven County,” said Janice Allen, Deputy Director of the Coastal Land Trust. “It offers a haven for wildlife, floodplain protection along the creek for the community, and beautiful stands of trees in a natural forest.”
The property includes a stretch of bottomland hardwoods along a tributary of Brice’s Creek, plus some mixed pine and hardwood forestland. Want to see this beautiful area? Brice’s Creek is an easy paddle accessible from Creekside Park in Craven County. More info online here.
Funds for the purchase were provided by a grant from the US Fish and Wildlife Service, together with private contributions.
