- Example of conservation projects in Carteret County funded with state trust fund money: Cherry Point Marsh
This 1300-acre pristine marsh, interspersed with hammocks of live oaks and pine trees, is excellent habitat for waterbirds and also a critical noise buffer for the Marine Corps' Piney Island Bombing Range. A $3 million Clean Water grant, which leveraged additional federal funds, made it possible for the NC Coastal Land Trust to purchase this tract. NCCLT will soon transfer the land to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission for permanent protection as public game lands and to ensure that development does not limit the Marine Corp’s ability to train naval aviators.This 1300-acre pristine marsh, interspersed with hammocks of live oaks and pine trees, is excellent habitat for waterbirds and also a critical noise buffer for the Piney Island Bombing Range.
