It’s our treat to be with you on this journey!

Members, landowners, and staff on SAHC-protected properties

In the past few weeks, we have enjoyed splendid views of the magnificent autumn colors from our outing hikes and volunteer work days in the highlands of North Carolina and Tennessee. We are sincerely grateful for the support and commitment of our volunteers, donors, and members. YOU have helped us achieve the amazing conservation projects which give all of us these stunning views, as well as clean water to drink and local food produced on permanently protected, local farms.

As you enjoy your autumn views & adventures, please help us meet our Annual Giving goal of $125,000 so we can continue to save the places you love in this region.

This yearly fundraising campaign is crucial in giving us the capacity to continue the phenomenal land protection work you expect from SAHC. PLUS, if we meet our goal by the end of the year, we will receive an additional $35,000 in matching grant money from the Merck Family Fund!

Please visit our secure online donation page https://co.clickandpledge.com/default.aspx?wid=46727 today to make your contribution.

Thank you for all you do to help us preserve the Southern Highlands!
