VIDEO: An Introduction to TennGreen Land Conservancy
Since 1998, TennGreen Land Conservancy has led the charge to protect our ecologically-rich, beautiful, and historically-significant treasures that make Tennessee unique. Thanks to passionate supporters, fearless leaders, and dedicated partners, we’ve protected tens of thousands of acres of our state’s wetlands, grasslands, mountains, forests, waterways, and so much more.

Our mission is to protect land and waters where people and nature can thrive.
TennGreen does so through three main methods:
- Acquisitions: which have led to the creation and expansion of many of our beloved parks and natural areas…
- Conservation Easements: which legally uphold the conservation vision of private landowners…
- Restoration Projects: which help rebuild and revitalize our state’s critical nature, such as wetlands, savannah grasslands, and more.
Some of our greatest success stories include:
- Virgin Falls and key areas of Scott’s Gulf Wilderness State Park
- Tens of thousands of acres that continue to build The Cumberland Trail, including the historically significant Devilstep Hollow
- Cummins Falls and the surrounding State Park
- And thousands of acres of active agricultural land across the state
Yet our work is never done. TennGreen Land Conservancy works in perpetuity—forever, that is. As long as there are lands and waters to protect in Tennessee, we’ll be here—protecting the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the nature that sustains us all.

TennGreen Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit and the oldest accredited statewide land conservancy in Tennessee. TennGreen’s mission is to conserve land where people and nature can thrive. Through sound science and partnerships, TennGreen identifies and conserves land across Tennessee for wildlife corridors, critical habitat, and public benefit. TennGreen protects, cares for, and connects people with Tennessee’s natural world by providing meaningful outdoor experiences, establishing conservation easements, supporting restoration efforts, and acquiring (or assisting in the acquisition of) privately held land.
