Thank you to Open Space Institute (OSI), Ducks Unlimited, and the other funders for the donation of Camp Island ,a 1,382-acre property, in Robeson County! Camp Island is rich with cultural significance and natural resources, in which Indigenous artifacts have been found. The Camp Island project represents the opportunity to receive substantial preserved areas that the tribe can maintain indefinitely for all tribal citizens to enjoy.

Because of the generous donation of Camp Island to the Lumbee Tribe, the Tribe will now be able to utilize these lands for the wildlife conservation, forest management, environmental studies, outdoor recreation and tribal game lands. The Lumbee Tribe will begin to assess and evaluate the lands to ensure sustainability and proper land stewardship for the generations of our community and tribal people.
