The Irvin Farm, acquired by TLC in 2007, consists of an 1880’s era farm house, barns, office and classroom, 40 acres of open pastures and fields and approximately 220 acres of mature mixed hardwood and pine forest. This beautiful and dynamic property is slated to become TLC’s Stewardship headquarters. The property will also be the home for a variety of educational and agricultural projects, including the Irvin Learning Farm, community gardens, adult workshops on agriculture and land management and community events such as the Green Jamboree. The Conservation Corps is an invigorating opportunity to assist TLC’s efforts to revitalize and enhance its many nature preserves. Led by TLC Land Manager Walt Tysinger, Corps members meet every Thursday at the Irvin Farm Nature Preserve, allowing for the development of a tight-knit volunteer community. In addition, the program provides educational opportunities and periodic social gatherings.
