King Meadows

Graham County

Acreage: 770

Year: 2017

One of the most biologically diverse places in western North Carolina, this property was purchased from a private owner in 2017, with assistance from philanthropists Fred and Alice Stanback and a donation that paid for legal fees and staff costs. In 2020, Mainspring combined the 770 acres with the adjacent Bee Knobs tract and conveyed a conservation easement on the full 884 acres to the State of North Carolina, through a grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund.
