Last year was another banner year for conservation in the Southern Appalachians. We preserved over a thousand additional acres, celebrated our 40th anniversary, and continued caring for the globally significant, imperiled ecosystems in the Highlands of Roan. In this Annual Report Issue, you’ll find stories about exciting new land protection projects, farmers producing on our Community Farm, upcoming hikes and events, and more!
