Foothills Land Conservancy

Since 1985, we’ve been working with property owners to conserve land in the Southeast. Foothills Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that protects, preserves, and enhances the land of the Southern Appalachian region—and promotes it for the benefit of the public. We partner with landowners who want to protect their land for a variety of reasons: to keep it in the family, to protect sensitive habitats, or to preserve unique beauty that would otherwise be lost to development. With the tremendous investment of the Conservancy's Board of Directors, staff, and Friends of the Foothills supporters, FLC has assisted in the preservation of more than 200,000 acres across 500 different projects in Tennessee and 6 surrounding states.
