Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust

The mission of Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust (HCLT) is "to protect valuable natural resources for all generations."

HCLT conserves over 3200 acres of forests, wetlands, and vistas that are home to the greatest number of rare and endemic plants and animals in the Southern Appalachians. 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 some of the reasons our mountains are special and why it is so important that we protect them.

Donate here. Be a part of the legacy.
