Support SAHC on Land Trust Day – Recognize National Trails Day

You are the difference between a mountain lost and a mountain saved.

What is Land Trust Day?

Land Trust Day was designated as a special day to recognize the efforts of conservation land trusts like Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy who contribute to the well-being of communities by preserving farmland for food production, places for people to enjoy outdoor recreation, clean water, wildlife and plant habitat, and scenic beauty.
Conservation is an investment in local communities, improving the quality of life for visitors and residents alike.
Land Trust Day sponsors pledge to contribute a specific amount or donate a percentage of sales from Saturday, June 6 in recognition of SAHC’s positive impact on our shared resources and communities.
You can Shop and Support SAHC at participating businesses on June 6!
