Old-growth corridor

Summary
Editorial aerial documentation of an old-growth corridor under conservation review. Donated flight time.
Brief
The Tar River Land Trust needed visual evidence that a contested parcel met old-growth criteria — for use in a conservation easement application.
Approach
Two visits, one in late spring leaf-on and one in late autumn leaf-off, to show canopy structure across seasons. Standardised altitudes for comparability.
Outcome
The application was approved. The corridor is now under permanent protection.
