Introducing The Satulah Club

Where Legacy Meets Conservation

Your love for these mountains can last forever.


The Satulah Club honors visionary supporters who understand that true conservation extends beyond a single lifetime. By including Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust in your estate plans, you're not just making a gift—you're planting seeds for generations who will hike these trails, breathe this clean air, and call these protected lands home.

Named after our beloved Satulah Mountain

This exclusive society recognizes those who choose to make their impact eternal. Your planned gift ensures that decades from now, families will still discover hidden waterfalls, rare wildflowers will continue to bloom, and the ancient rhythms of these mountains will remain unbroken.
