Introducing Our New State Director:        Terry Cook

Conservation Buyer Program

 

The Nature Conservancy's Conservation Buyer Program allows us to work with private purchasers to protect land that buffers biologically sensitive areas.  These properties typically do not harbor rare or endangered species but offer a shield of protection from such things as development, damaging agricultural practices, and pollution.

The Kentucky Chapter's Timberlake and Buckner-Reece properties in Hart County are currently available for purchase.

Find out more about the Buckner- Reece property.
