Kurt Schlimme, Director of Conservation
n December 30, 2010, LinkBros, LLC donated a one-acre tract of land
on Pleasant Green Road to the Eno River Association to fill a missing
section in the route of the North Carolina Mountains-to-Sea Trail. The
property, which has approximately 200 feet of frontage on the Eno River, will be
donated by the Association to the State of North Carolina for inclusion in the
Eno River State Park.
More than 500 miles of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail have been built in
segments across the state, joined together by temporary connectors on back
roads and state bike routes. Acquisition of the Link property will allow
completion of the section of trail through the Eno River State Park between
the Cabe Lands area and Pleasant Green Road. On June 4, as part of National
Trails Day, the ERA—in partnership with the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea
Trail—will hold a trail construction workday for this section of the trail.
In addition to its contribution to local and state-wide recreation, acquisition
of the property will provide critical ecological and resource protection. The
donation of this property completes over 8.5 miles of

“I was lucky enough to grow up in a house overlooking the Eno River
just outside of Hillsborough. Just outside my back door, the river and the woods
were an enormous playground for me, and my friends. Without a doubt, I know
that my curious nature, adventurous spirit, and passion for the natural world are
tied completely to my early outdoor escapades.
After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, I left Orange County and worked
for several years in the cultural resources management field—first as a field
technician on archaeological projects in North Carolina, Virginia and New
Jersey—then as a researcher and surveyor of historic resources across the state.
I met my husband Dean Ruedrich, a restoration contractor and gravestone
conservator, while working at Historic Stagville in the mid-90s. Our first date
was to the Festival for the Eno and last year we celebrated our 15th anniversary
at the Festival!
Before joining the ERA staff, I worked for six and a half years raising money
and awareness for another North Carolina land trust based in Louisburg. Now I
feel like I’ve finally come home, and am so excited to be a part of the Eno River
Association family.
To be sure, ERA has an impressive 45-year history. But in order to remain
a conservation powerhouse, we need to stay nimble and ready to act on critical
land acquisition opportunities.
We need to be responsive to
legislative and local planning
issues, and able to provide
quality education
programs that nurture
our next generation
of environmental
stewards. What this
requires is money—
both unrestricted
funding that allows
us to be alert to the
opportunities that
exist, and program
funding that allows us to pursue them.
I’m going to need your help raising these funds and urge each of you to
re-commit yourselves to the ERA cause. The Eno is not only an extraordinary
natural resource; it’s a place that holds very deep personal meaning to many of
us. I look forward to working with each of you and as a community to save this
place we love!”
(Properties, from page 1) permanently protected frontage
along the southern bank of the Eno River, stretching from
Pleasant Green Road in Orange County to Roxboro Road
in the City of Durham.
The donation of the property was made by John
M. Link Jr., Thomas E. Link, and Robert E. Link, the
Members of LinkBros, LLC, in loving memory of their
great grandfather, Emmett Green Link, and their mother
and father, Peggy Sykes Link and John M. Link Sr. The
Link family has deep roots along the Eno River. This land
has been owned by the family for more than 100 years.
“We have always called it the Spring Lot,” says Thomas
Link. “Fable has it that the spring on the property has
never dried up in the last 250 years.” The Links are also
no strangers to conservation along the Eno River. In 2009
they worked with the Association to donate 17 acres for
inclusion into the Eno River State Park.
In addition to the Link donation, the Association
also helped the Orange County Lands Legacy complete
a “forever wild” conservation easement on a five-acre,
undeveloped parcel near the Association’s Confluence
Natural Area. Conservation of this property, which has
approximately 400 feet of frontage on the Eno River, will
provide permanent protection for important riparian areas
and wildlife habitat and add to the significant amount of
protected land already located along this section of the
Eno River.

Elias Ammon—age 4½, wearing the 2010 Eno
cottontail rabbit t-shirt—traveled with his family to the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park last September.
Highlights from the trip included an encounter
with a black bear and the entire family (mom
Kristen, dad Christopher, and baby brother Ethan)
reaching the top of Clingman’s Dome (6,643 ft),
the third highest mountain east of the Mississippi!
The two highest peaks east of the Mississippi are
both located in Mt. Mitchell State Park in western
North Carolina.
Trivia Question: What “mountain” is the highest point
in Orange County?
Answer: Occoneechee Mountain, 867 ft.

day camp was founded in 2008 as a
partnership between Orange County
School and the Eno River Association,
with funding from the Burroughs
Wellcome Fund Student Science
Enrichment Program. We are pleased
to be opening the program this year
to several Durham Schools, with the
goal of reaching all of the schools in
the Eno River basin within the next
five years.
• Rising sixth-grade students from
Orange County School district and
Durham Public Schools
Easley, Eno Valley, and
Hillandale are eligible to
apply for the 2011 camp.
• Student applications can
be downloaded at www.
iwalktheeno.org.
• The deadline for submitting
a student application is

challenges to those special places, helping you address
challenges to your own neighborhood stream and
better understand the watershed as a whole. The
curriculum helps people understand the characteristics of a healthy stream and recognize hidden threats.
You can join a network of other volunteers at monthly

The Association, Donated Conservation Easements, and You
he Eno River Association is working to greatly
expand our conservation easement program in
2011. Easements can be a powerful tool for land
conservation. Under a conservation easement, land
remains in private ownership, use, and management.
However, certain restrictions for future development or
other management activities are placed on the land. The
extent of these restrictions is tailored to each individual
case, with landowner objectives and the property’s natural
resources being considered. When conservation easements
are donated, there can be significant tax benefits to the
landowner. In fact, at the end of 2010 Congress renewed
the enhanced federal tax incentives for conservation
easement donations, including bargain sales. The
incentives, which had expired at the end of 2009, will have
significant impact on the benefits most landowners are able
to reap from a conservation donation.
The new law:
• Raises the deduction a donor can take for donating a
voluntary conservation agreement from 30 percent of
their income in any year to 50 percent;
• Allows farmers and ranchers to deduct up to 100% of
their income; and
• Increases the number of years over which a donor can
take deductions from 6 to 16 years.
While this renewal is a wonderful vote of confidence
for the importance of land conservation by individual
landowners, currently these incentives are only temporary.
At the end of 2011, benefits revert back to their earlier
limits. If you have considered placing an easement on your
property, this coming year is the time to make it happen.
For more information about placing a conservation
easement on your property, please contact Kurt Schlimme,
Director of Conservation, 919-620-9099 or [email protected].
