The Bethel Branch Conservation Mitigation Easement is a part of the Cane Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank in Chatham and Alamance Counties, NC; a collection of eight conservation mitigation easements that aim to provide cumulative ecological benefits for the Cape Fear Watershed.
The Easement Property consists of native vegetation buffering four perennial stream reaches and two ephemeral stream reaches from the potential impacts of the surrounding livestock pastures and dairy operation.
Bethel Branch protects 16.7 acres in the Cape Fear River Basin, under easement since 2019, with the stream restoration and enhancement carried out by Wildlands Engineering. Native vegetation buffers four perennial and two ephemeral stream reaches from the livestock pastures and dairy operation around them, and adds to the benefits of the other seven easements in the Cane Creek Umbrella Mitigation Bank. Unique Places to Save is the conservation easement grantee, so that buffer is protected permanently.
