In the last year, Kentucky Natural Lands Trust’s primary conservation geography has expanded beyond Pine Mountain to include Cumberland Mountain to the southeast. KNLT refers to this vital area as the Appalachian Highlands Wildlands Corridor. This geography is an important conservation region within a continental scale wildway that spans from Alabama to Canada.
KNLT projects in the Appalachian Highlands Wildlands Corridor safeguard forests and freshwater systems that are globally significant and vital to sustaining all life on Earth. These projects add landscape connectivity that increases regional resilience. They also provide access to nature for local communities and contribute to the new outdoor economy unfolding in the region. Read more about our wildlands conservation projects in blog stories below.
You can advance KNLT’s wildlands mission with a gift of any size. Your support will safeguard biodiversity, stabilize the climate and support communities today and for future generations. Learn about all the ways to give: DONATE TO KNLT
