SALT ACQUIRES 228 ACRES IN MOORE COUNTY
SALT completed the acquisition of a property in Moore County on McLendons Creek in northern Moore County near Carthage. McLendons Creek, a tributary of the Deep River, flows northeastward through central Moore County and is one of the most distinctive creeks in the North Carolina Piedmont. The downstream portions show an unusual series of very small oxbow lakes or ponds, a very significant geomorphic feature in the Piedmont. The acquisition is the first of many planned in SALT's newest priority conservation area.
