The Loop Road Mitigation Bank Parcel is a 13.75-acre project designed to restore riparian buffer and nutrient offset functions in the Neuse River Basin. Developed by Wildlands Engineering and permanently protected through a conservation easement held by Unique Places to Save, this site transforms agricultural land into a thriving natural corridor.
The project restores native vegetation along waterways that flow into Falling Creek, a stream classified for water supply and nutrient sensitivity. Restoration activities reduce sediment and nutrient runoff, improve water quality, and enhance wildlife habitat.
With over 30,000 square feet of buffer restoration, the site supports regional conservation goals while ensuring long-term protection of sensitive riparian systems. Unique Places to Save provides enduring oversight and stewardship, upholding its mission to safeguard North Carolina’s most valuable natural areas for future generations.
