We protect land for everyone.

The Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust permanently protects land through land purchases, property donations, and conservation easements and currently conserves more than 4,300 acres in Jackson and Macon Counties. Conserved lands are protected for all residents and visitors to our mountains and provide ecosystem services such as clean drinking water, wildlife habitat, and views. Not all of our lands allow for public access, but we do allow public access to several properties.
Protected Properties - View a list of all of our protected properties.

Hiking Trails - View trail maps for HCLT properties that are open to the public.

Land Stewardship - Check out some of the ways that HCLT is managing valuable resources on protected properties.
