A Big Hike-a-Thon Thank You for an Incredible Earth Day 2025!

Together, we raised an incredible $9,730 from 93 donations from 75 households, $5,000 of which was matched by a generous gift from a tremendous Hike-a-Thon supporter.

TennGreen Land Conservancy is thrilled to share wonderful news from yesterday’s Hike-a-Thon Earth Day Campaign. It was a resounding success, and it’s all thanks to your support, enthusiasm, and generosity!

“Together, we raised an incredible $9,730 from 93 donations from 75 households! This momentum was supercharged by an amazingly generous $5,000 matching gift from one of our fantastic Hike-a-Thon supporters, which not only inspired our community but was met and exceeded by over $4,000,” announced TennGreen’s Executive Director, Alice Hudson Pell, on Wednesday.

“Please join us in a huge round of applause; this was a game-changing contribution that pushed us well past our goal for the day!”

The Hike-a-Thon continues to prove the power of connection, community, and conservation. But as we march toward another tremendously exciting, record-breaking year, we are not slowing down! With your continued help in sharing, participating, and cheering everyone on, we know this will be our best year yet.

“Together, we’re conserving the incredible places that make Tennessee special. Thank you for being champions of TennGreen’s mission,” Hudson Pell added.

let’s keep this Hike-a-Thon energy going!

For pariticpants like Wendy, our annual Hike-a-Thon is more than just an event—it’s a cherished opportunity to bond with her granddaughter and share the wonders of nature.

“Hike-a-Thon gives me a fun reason to explore and teach my granddaughter to love the outdoors while financially helping to sustain our state’s natural resources through TennGreen,” Wendy offered earlier in April.

This Earth Day, Wendy and so many others helped ensure that Tennessee families continue to have wild places to explore and connect.
