Appalachia Highlands Wildlands Corridor

The Appalachian Highlands Wildlands Corridor (AHWC) is home to globally significant biodiversity, forests that offer a natural climate solution and communities undergoing the largest economic transition since the industrial revolution as they shift from a coal-based economy. Through wildlands conservation that is science-based and community-minded, KNLT is working to connect landscapes and communities in this important conservation region within a continental scale wildway that spans from Alabama to Canada. Several tracts are deemed valuable conservation targets due to their contributions to protecting biodiversity, stabilizing the climate and supporting local communities.
