Land Trust Day 2009: Saturday, June 6

Support local businesses, support local conservation

Land Trust Day is the one day each year you can shop to support conservation. Most of our business partners will be donating a percentage of their sales on June 6 to TLC. So when you shop, not only do you support locally owned and operated businesses, you also support TLC and local conservation.

Read more about this year's Land Trust Day Business Partners below.

WHAT IS Land Trust Day? On the first Saturday of June, businesses across the state show support for their local land trusts by donating a percentage of their sales, supporting membership drives, or by making donations.

Great Outdoor Provision Co., a Raleigh-based outdoor gear retailer, began Land Trust Day in 1992 as a way of giving back to groups that are protecting the great outdoors of North Carolina.
