Piedmont Land Conservancy is a Greensboro-based nonprofit that protects natural and scenic lands, farms, and open spaces across nine northern Piedmont counties—Alamance, Caswell, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, and Yadkin—in North Carolina. Founded in 1989 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) organization a year later, it operates as a local land protection entity with affiliations to the Land Trust Alliance and the North Carolina Land Trust Council. The organization aims to safeguard these landscapes to support the region's quality of life for current residents and future generations. Its work includes acquiring land and protecting it through conservation tools such as easements, and it has engaged in transactions that transfer parcels to public entities when appropriate. A notable development in early 2026 is a partnership with Fair Share Farm, reflecting ongoing collaboration to advance conservation in the region.
