Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust (HCLT) is a nationally accredited non-profit organization with a mission to protect valuable natural resources for all generations.
We conserve forests, wetlands, and vistas that are home to the greatest number of rare plants and animals in the Southern Appalachians, some of which occur nowhere else on the planet. The Highlands-Cashiers plateau sits at the headwaters of six different watersheds so conserving land here protects drinking water throughout the southeast. These are just a few of the reasons our mountains are special and why it is so important we protect them.
As we face challenges such as climate change and declining biodiversity, saving land has never been more critical. Demand for land throughout Highlands and Cashiers has skyrocketed and HCLT is racing against the clock to save our last wild places before they are lost forever.
Together, we can save the lands we love.
We see a future where natural landscapes, open spaces and healthy communities are cared for by people who share a love of nature and a deep appreciation for the richness of their diverse cultures.
Since 1909, our generous donors and partners have conserved over 4,300 acres of biologically diverse and ecologically value lands throughout southern Jackson and Macon Counties. As a nationally accredited land trust, our work promotes:
Healthy Lands: Conserving and caring for the magnificent natural landscapes, habitats and waterways of our region to ensure a sustainable future.
Healthy People: Providing opportunities for all who live in and visit Southern Macon and Jackson Counties to experience the healthful benefits associated with access to parks and open spaces, clean air and water, and a deep connection with nature.
Healthy Communities: Engaging in partnership where conservation and civic participation increase community vitality, economic prosperity and social equity.
Your donation makes all this happen! Thank you for investing in our mountains.
