Land deal would preserve historic Guilford Woods for years to come, Guilford College says
GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — A historic stretch of land on the campus of a Triad college will never be developed thanks to a new deal.
According to Guilford College, the college and Piedmont Land Conservancy have signed a 'memorandum of understanding' to pursue a conservation easement to permanently protect a large swath of Guilford Woods.
Guilford College Bryan Series to end after 20-year run
The easement would protect 120 acres of land on the Guilford College campus, including a tree known as the ',' a 300-year-old tulip poplar. This deal would ensure that this area, one of Greensboro's last undeveloped woodlands, according to the college, would never be developed, but would remain owned by the college.
PLC wants to fund the easement by raising $8.5 million, which would be available to the college by 2028.
'While the proceeds will not be factored in the current $5 million 'For the Good of Guilford' campaign that concludes June 30, the money will be important in Guilford's longer-term financial strategy,' the college writes.
The college states that this is an 'ideal solution' for the community and the college, who have 'long sought' a way to support the college and preserve Guilford Woods, which has ecological and historical value to the community.
'Guilford College is proud to be part of this partnership to preserve Guilford Woods,' said Guilford's acting president, Jean Bordewich. 'We are committed to ensuring this beloved Greensboro landscape remains protected and accessible for generations to come.'
'This is a win-win-win for PLC, Guilford College and the greater community,' said Mary Magrinat, incoming PLC board president and longtime community advocate. 'The land will be permanently protected, Guilford College will receive vital financial support for its programs, and the public will gain official access to pristine green space in a rapidly growing part of Greensboro.'
In 2017, the federal government recognized the land as one of the earliest documented sites of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, Guilford College states in their release.
This easement will connect to Julian and Ethel Clay Price Park, 100 acres that are also protected by PLC, linking it to Greensboro's existing trail network.

Insiders At Carnival Corporation & Sold US$2.8m In Stock, Alluding To Potential Weakness
Many Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE:CCL) insiders ditched their stock over the past year, which may be of interest to the company's shareholders. When analyzing insider transactions, it is usually more valuable to know whether insiders are buying versus knowing if they are selling, as the latter sends an ambiguous message. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more. While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. The CFO & Chief Accounting Officer, David Bernstein, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$2.4m worth of shares at a price of US$22.84 each. That means that even when the share price was slightly below the current price of US$23.22, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. This single sale was just 43% of David Bernstein's stake. Insiders in Carnival Corporation & didn't buy any shares in the last year. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction! See our latest analysis for Carnival Corporation & If you like to buy stocks that insiders are buying, rather than selling, then you might just love this free list of companies. (Hint: Most of them are flying under the radar). The last three months saw significant insider selling at Carnival Corporation &. Specifically, CFO & Chief Accounting Officer David Bernstein ditched US$2.4m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. This may suggest that some insiders think that the shares are not cheap. For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Carnival Corporation & insiders own 6.7% of the company, currently worth about US$2.0b based on the recent share price. Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders. An insider sold Carnival Corporation & shares recently, but they didn't buy any. Looking to the last twelve months, our data doesn't show any insider buying. But since Carnival Corporation & is profitable and growing, we're not too worried by this. While insiders do own a lot of shares in the company (which is good), our analysis of their transactions doesn't make us feel confident about the company. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Our analysis shows 2 warning signs for Carnival Corporation & (1 doesn't sit too well with us!) and we strongly recommend you look at them before investing. Of course Carnival Corporation & may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.

SolGold PLC Announces Voluntary Delisting from Toronto Stock Exchange
BISHOPSGATE, LONDON / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / SolGold plc (LSE:SOLG)(TSX:SOLG) announces that it has applied for a voluntary delisting of its ordinary shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the 'TSX'). The delisting is intended to be effective as of the close of trading on June 18, 2025. The ordinary shares in the Company will continue to trade on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange (the 'LSE') under the symbol 'SOLG'. Since SolGold obtained its TSX listing in 2017 to April 30, 2025, while daily trading activity in the Company's ordinary shares on such exchange increased somewhat, it only accounted for less than 3% of the aggregate trading volume on both platforms. As a result of these relatively low trading volumes on the TSX, the Company believes that the financial costs and administrative requirements associated with maintaining its TSX listing are no longer justified. Shareholder approval is not required for the delisting because the Company's ordinary shares trade on the LSE, which is an acceptable alternative market in accordance with Section 720(b) of the TSX Company Manual. Additional Information for Shareholders on SolGold's Canadian Registrar Following the delisting from the TSX, Canadian shareholders holding shares with their broker ('CDS participant') and wishing to trade their shares on the LSE will need for such shares to be made eligible to be transferred and settled through CREST, the United Kingdom ('UK') based share transfer and settlement system. CDS participants may initiate instructions to Computershare Trust Company of Canada ('Computershare') via its xSettle web service. Shares cannot be transferred and settled through CREST until a shareholder's CDS participant broker or the shareholder initiates a cross-border request. If the shares are held in certificated or Direct Registration form, as applicable, shareholders may instruct Computershare to arrange for the shares to be held by a CREST participant broker. This can be done by completing a 'Register Removal Request - Canada to United Kingdom' form, with valid CREST participant account details, and submitting such form to Computershare via email at [email protected]. For any questions on this process please contact Computershare's global transaction unit by phone at +1 (877) 624-5999. The Company intends to maintain CDS eligibility for its shares until July 18, 2025 in order to allow Canadian shareholders time to complete the process contemplated above.
