The Carolinas are blessed with an abundance of public lands and wildlife preserves -- acres of forests, clear streams, and lively ecosystems. Mosaic is a look at twnety-one special places preserved for the recreation and enjoyment of Carolina communities. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains and against streams and rushing rivers to the east, these places inspire and delight visitors, providing pristine places to hunt, fish, hike, and watch wildlife. The work of conserving and protecting these lands first fell to the Duke Power Company, whose land holdings extend throughout the Carolinas. In an effort to secure the best locations for hydroelectric and railroad operations, Duke has also managed to sell/donate more than 69,000 acres in the last 70 years. The company has proven definitively that corporate interests need not override environmental concerns. While building what has been called by the Financial Times of London the World's Most Respected Utility, Duke has exceeded its responsibility to the community by providing exemplary service and serving as a steward of the land, protecting wildlife, conserving natural resources, and protecting fragile areas of outstanding beauty.
