Preserving the Land

The Piedmont Land Conservancy was recently gifted 127 acres of historic farmland in Forsyth County that will become the Bashavia Creek Preserve.

• Background: When 127 acres of land near Pfafftown went up for sale in December 2023, Drs. Peter and Ann Weigl were concerned that the land would become a new housing development. The couple decided to buy the land and gifted it to the Piedmont Land Conservancy (PLC) to prevent its development.
  
  

• The Land: The property is partially farmland and has a historic farmhouse dating back to 1853. The rest of the property is wooded hillsides and includes Bashavia Creek, after which the preserve will be named.
  
  

• Opening: The property is currently closed to the public. It is projected to open in 2025 to 2026 and will include hiking trails so that future generations can continue enjoying the land for years to come.

🏷 Don't miss out on up to 80% off name-brand patio furniture sets and over 200 miscellaneous items starting at $10.00, including chairs, ottomans, grills, end tables, and more at Casual Furniture World.
