Adopt an Acre in the Appalachians PDF  | Print |  E-mail

A portion of 2009 painting sales will go to The Nature Conservancy's Adopt an Acre in the Appalachians and Plant a Billion Trees programs. Join me in supporting their efforts to protect the Appalachian Mountains, one of the world's most beautiful and diverse habitats.


Located near some of the nation's largest cities, the Appalachians face dramatic pressures from development, deforestation, energy development and invasive pests.

By 2030, an estimated 44 million acres of private forests will be lost to development.

The unprecedented sale of huge tracts of forest threatens the integrity of the region.

In the 1990s alone, the U.S. lost a staggering 1 million acres of forest per year to development, making the protection of the Appalachians today more crucial than ever. 

How The Nature Conservancy Works in the Appalachians

With a strong network of partners, The Nature Conservancy is working to conserve 1.7 million acres of public and private land. We are doing this in a variety of ways, such as:
  • Acquiring land
  • Restoring forested lands
  • Establishing conservation easements
  • Promoting sustainable forest management
  • Combating invasive species
