Oct 27, 2009 (The Charlotte Observer - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) --
CSX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- North Carolina has completed a $3.7 million deal to protect nearly 1,500 acres in McDowell County that encompass nearly five miles of scenic views along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

CSX Corp. owns the 1,488 acres near Little Switzerland and will continue to operate its rail line. A conservation easement the state bought will prevent development and logging.

The nonprofit Conservation Trust for North Carolina, which brokered the deal and announced it Monday, will manage the easement.

The property extends from mileposts 325 to 329.5 on the parkway and includes some of its best-known overlooks.

It also includes 1.5 miles of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, the route used by mountain militiamen during the American Revolution on the way to the battle of Kings Mountain in South Carolina. The agreement allows improvements that will make that section of trail publicly accessible.

The site's mature forests connect important habitat in Pisgah National Forest to the parkway. The tract includes all or part of two state-designated Significant Natural Heritage Areas and seven miles of Catawba River headwaters streams.

Donors of the Conservation Trust provided $1.6 million. The N.C. Natural Heritage Trust Fund paid $1.1 million, the state Clean Water Management Trust Fund $868,000 and the state parks trails program $75,000. The National Park Service, Altapass Orchard Foundation, Overmountain Victory Trail Association and Salisbury's Fred and Alice Stanback and Bill and Nancy Stanback also contributed.
