“The Guthrie Farm off U.S. Highway 24, they grow Bogue Sound watermelons, they have for years,” said George Radford of a family that chose to sell restrictive easements for their property instead of selling it for development that would be incompatible with Cherry Point’s Bogue Field flight operations. Radford, an environmental affairs officer for Cherry Point, added, “They had the desire to keep it as a farm into the future, which is definitely compatible with us. It was win-win for both parties.” The easements are aimed at protecting endangered species, rare plants, natural coastal settings, water quality, and, in this example, the Guthries protect a family legacy, while agreeing that residential dwellings and hazardous aviation obstructions like cell phone towers or wind turbines will not be built on these properties. The property owner keeps and farms the land, but sells certain property rights to protect local fliers as well as the environment.
