More than 560 acres of land adjoining the Croatan National Forest in Craven County has been set aside for conservation. The Coastal Land Trust recently acquired the land using a portion of $7.3 million awarded as part of the Havelock Bypass settlement in 2018. The property, along Brices Creek Road and Perrytown Loop Road near New Bern, is the Coastal Land Trust’s fifth land acquisition in two years using the settlement funds. The land features scenic ponds, stands of mixed pine-hardwoods, longleaf pine forest, and pocosin wetlands and provides habitat for wild turkey, black bear, songbirds, and waterfowl.
