Help ensure that places of wonder remain

The mission of the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy is to conserve the unique plant and animal habitat, clean water, farmland, and scenic beauty of the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee for the benefit of present and future generations. Since 1974, we have protected over 60,000 acres from the Highlands of Roan to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
