About this organization
Mission
Kentucky Natural Lands Trust (KNLT) is a nationally accredited non profit committed to protecting, connecting, and restoring wildlands. Our efforts are aimed at preserving natural heritage in ways that also benefit local, regional and global communities.
About
KNLT is working to protect the wildlands corridor on Pine Mountain and other important natural areas statewide. KNLT's first project was raising funds in partnership with the office of Kentucky Nature Preserves to preserve Blanton Forest, Kentucky's largest old growth forest. Since then, KNLT has protected thousands of acres of Kentucky's wildlands across the state. Some of the acreage is now part of state parks, state nature preserves, state wildlife refuges, or in other conservation management. KNLT provides stewardship services for these and other conservation properties. KNLT also holds conservation easements in various parts of the state. Since its inception through 2019, KNLT has directly purchased and protected over 14,000 acres and partnered with other conservation organizations to assist with the protection of an additional 30,000 acres in Kentucky.
