The Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust that focuses on conserving the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. Its work protects plant and animal habitat, safeguards clean water, preserves farmland, and maintains spaces for outdoor recreation and scenic beauty. The organization pursues long-term conservation through partnerships with private landowners and public agencies and by owning and managing land, with a commitment to equitable, healthy, and thriving communities in the region. In 2025, SAHC acquired an 83-acre property along the French Broad River in Woodfin for permanent conservation, expanding protected land along the river. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, the organization operates within the environmental services arena and works to balance land protection with opportunities for people to enjoy outdoor experiences.
