Conserving Land Where People and Nature Can Thrive
TennGreen Land Conservancy (formerly the Tennessee Parks & Greenways Foundation) empowers landowners and communities to protect large, connected natural areas that support diversity of life, inspire appreciation of nature, and spark action to protect the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land that sustains us all.

What does that mean?
Since 1998, we’ve been a trusted partner in conservation across the state! Together, we’ve conserved 54,954 acres of land, protected more than 224 miles of streams and rivers, created or expanded 61 public spaces, and protected essential habitat for 78 rare species.


$259,185 Raised for Nature
In April, thousands of people came together with a shared goal: to protect the land, water, and wild places that make Tennessee so special. Many adventured outside. Some gave generously. Others cheered on friends, family, or coworkers and helped spread the word. Thanks to this support, Hike-a-Thon 2025 was a resounding success and our best year yet! Together, we raised more, explored farther, and connected with more people who care about protecting Tennessee’s natural world.
1,123 adventurers completed 2,908 outdoor adventures for the 2025 Hike-a-Thon!
