Even a few dollars helps! Please consider reblogging, if you’re not in a position to give. Help save this rare and beautiful forest, deep in Appalachia.

People keep wanting to know about things they can do to help save the planet. This is one way to do that.

Hey, just want some more info before donating.

Is the money raised going to be used to buy some of  the land, or bribe the loggers away from it? Also, what will the money be used for if the total isn’t met, or if the logging people aren’t interested in it?

The money is to be directly used to buy a portion, if not ALL of the land. There is no “bribing loggers away from land”, because if the owner wants it logged, they will find someone else to do the job. 

I am feeling really hopeful that the owners will be willing to let go of part of the property. I’m far to invested in this for it not to come to be. Ultimately, it is up to the land owners though. IF everything was to fall through, the money I’ve collected so far will be used in other conservation efforts. Although, this property can’t simply be “replaced” with another project. I am wanting to preserve it because it is indeed very special, and extremely bio diverse. I’m simply not ready to accept no for an answer with this. Even if it takes 20 years, after the land falls in the hands of someone else… I will find a way to protect this wilderness. 

Thank you for your interest! If you have any more questions, I’d be more than happy to answer them! ❤
