Piedmont Land Conservancy acquired an 848-acre tract on the Dan River in Stokes County near Walnut Cove, a tract of property that will preserve history while becoming a first in the area. The property, known as the Shoebuckle Tract, will become the first Educational State Forest in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina, according to conservancy officials. The tract, they say, will prioritize recreation, serving as the home for a future segment of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail and creating the opportunity for a new river access on the Dan River State Trail.
