- State Funding for Conservation Projects in Durham County (aka "Green Book" data)
- Examples of conservation projects in Durham County funded with state trust fund money:
 Turning the abandoned American Tobacco railroad line into a trail has been a dream for many years of Triangle Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (TRTC), and, through a regional effort, that dream is coming true. The railroad ran more than 23 miles from Bonsal in western Wake County through Chatham County into downtown Durham. Now, thanks to the efforts of TRTC and Durham and Wake County's Parks Departments, the trail bustles with life as walkers, runners and bikers exercise and commute on the miles of completed trail.
TRTC is now working with Chatham County to help raise the funds needed to link the Durham and Wake sections. The trail is now enhanced by the renovation of the historic American Tobacco factory and warehouses, a model mixed-use historic redevelopment project, at the terminus of the trail.
