The Walthour-Moss Foundation
Based in Southern Pines, the Walthour-Moss Foundation is the only nature preserve in North Carolina (and one of few in the United States) whose stated mission designates it as a place for equestrian activities. An accredited land trust, it holds 4,198 acres that constitute one of the state’s largest private stands of longleaf pine. Stephen Later has served as a director since 2004 and as its chairman since 2014, and Elizabeth Snow is a member its Development Committee.
Robbins May & Rich LLP led a successful ten-year legal and political effort to prevent the designation of a freeway bypass through these lands. We also arranged for the permanent protection of this forest against any state condemnation via an innovative conservation agreement with the United States Forest Service.

North Carolina Museum of History
The North Carolina Museum of History fosters a passion for our state by preserving artifacts and educating the public through exhibits and programs. Stephen Later serves as a director of the North Carolina Museum of History Foundation and was previously a director and chairman of the North Carolina Museum of History Associates.

We are proud to possess a culture of respect, collegiality and friendship among our staff. While our attorneys each work in specific practice areas, we foster a collaborative environment in order to achieve the best service and outcome for our clients.
