What We Do
Recognized as one of the most effective environmental groups in the country, PEC brings the strengths of a comprehensive strategy to our work of caring for this extraordinary place.
This land is the heritage we will leave for our children. To nurture the health and wholeness of the Piedmont is to leave them a legacy of abundant wealth.
For a generation, PEC has worked to protect this land. Our nine-county region now contains one of the highest densities of private conservation land anywhere in America.
With a skilled staff, a generation of experience and a dynamic network of citizen activists, PEC can effectively respond to proposals that stand to impact our communities.
PEC supports projects that contribute to vibrant towns and cities so that Piedmont residents can continue to enjoy both urban centers and open, rural countryside.
