on conservation projects and has
bought almost 40,000 acres in the last
10 years giving him the status of one
of the largest private land owners in
North Carolina.
He's modest about his focus on
preserving the natural beauty and
declined an interview when asked,
but his legacy will be woven in with
the protections he has set in place including 7,000 acres of The Box Creek
Wilderness, which is nestled in the
Blue Ridge foothills south of Marion,
North Carolina. Sweeney, who lives
in Cary, North Carolina, donated $15
million for a conservation easement
to protect the Box Creek area after
hearing about plans to run power
lines through the unspoiled beauty.
