Corporate Partners
Our corporate partners play an important role in protecting our shared vital resources. We build win-win relationships with businesses who are naturally aligned with our mission:

- While increasing our capacity to protect vital land and water resources for present and future generations.
In the southern Appalachian region, our natural environment is one of our greatest economic assets. According to a study conducted by the Blue Ridge Natural Heritage Area, visitors to our region are drawn here to enjoy outdoor recreation, visiting farms, and attending festivals and events. SAHC’s land conservation efforts protect scenic views, outdoor recreation sites and working farms that fuel our regions multi-billion dollar tourism industry.

Spotlight on Corporate Partner: Highland Brewing Company
"For Love of Beer and Mountains"
SAHC, Highland Brewing Company, and the US Fish & Wildlife Service collaborate throughout the year to heighten public awareness of the natural treasures that make this region so attractive. Each HBC seasonal brew is named for a feature of the Southern Appalachian landscape: For example, the Little Hump Spring Ale is named for Little Hump Mountain on the Appalachian Trail in the Roan Highlands.
For each seasonal release,
- SAHC receives a percentage of pint sales from each seasonal release party
- The partners host a special event or educational program highlighting the namesake feature
- We participate in a guided hike or outing to appreciate the feature in the landscape
Highland Brewing Company employees also partnered with SAHC for a habitat restoration project in the Highlands of Roan. For more on that story, click here.
