The Jigsaw Conservation Mitigation Easement is 21 acres of mature forested stream buffer along Second Creek, a beautiful rocky creek with restored in-stream habitat. The forested buffer helps to improve the water quality of Second Creek which flows into High Rock Lake, a reservoir of Davidson and Rowan counties, NC.

The forested buffer within the Easement Property also establishes connectivity to nearby fragmented forested areas for safe wildlife passage.
