It was a big win for conservationists in Jackson County recently. Mainspring Conservation Trust has purchased a tract of privately owned land surrounded by public land to prevent it from being developed. Mainspring bought the land, following interests from developers, to ensure it remains preserved as public land and its uses based on conservation. The 43 acre property sits in a highly visible place within the Blue Ridge Parkway viewshed near the Mountains-to-Sea Trail.
