Orange County’s Lands Legacy Program was created by a board of commissioners’ resolution on April 4, 2000. The purpose and mission is to work with willing landowners and other partners to protect and conserve the county’s most important natural and cultural resource lands before they are damaged or destroyed. The program is administered by the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation (DEAPR).
Through Lands Legacy, the County has completed projects in all seven townships. That success was achieved with the help of many partners, including dozens of landowners interested in conserving their land through the granting of permanent conservation easements. Other key partners included Triangle Land Conservancy, Eno River Association, OWASA, Duke University, and other local governments. The County has also partnered with state and federal agencies that awarded over $5 million in grants for park acquisition/construction and for conserving farms and open space.
