 The mission of the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy (a  land trust) is to conserve the unique plant and animal habitat, clean  water, and scenic beauty of the mountains of North Carolina and  east Tennessee for the benefit of present and future generations.
 We achieve this by forging and maintaining conservation  relationships with landowners and public agencies, owning and  managing land, and working with communities to accomplish their  conservation objectives.
