The Land Trust for Tennessee

Mission: To conserve the unique character of Tennessee’s natural and historic landscapes and sites for future generations.

Since 1999, The Land Trust for Tennessee has been dedicated to protecting the unique character of Tennessee’s natural and historic landscapes and sites for future generations. We protect 137,000 acres of land across 76 counties.

The Land Trust permanently protects land by working with landowners through a range of tools, including conservation easements, land donations, bargain sale arrangements, transaction facilitation, and land purchases. We hold conservation easements on public and private land, including farms, forestland, and urban open spaces, and we are the only statewide conservation organization with an active farmland conservation program.
