The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

"SCC is pleased to help TNC protect this important river-front tract along the Green River," said Jeff Jones, Executive Director of SCC.  "While the upper Green River watershed is normally not an area where SCC works in Kentucky, acquisition of this parcel by SCC will complement the land

protection work underway there by TNC, Western Kentucky University, Kentucky Wild Rivers program and others.  The work these organizations are doing will have long-term benefits in this ecologically-important watershed and we appreciate the opportunity to be a part of that success.” 

Southern Conservation Corp. is a non-profit organization founded in 2003 to assist federal, state, and local agencies with the acquisition of important wildlife habitats in an effort to protect native flora and fauna, especially endangered and other rare species.  SCC also acquires properties that are significantly degraded and works with federal, state, and local agency partners to restore and enhance those properties in an effort to provide high quality wildlife habitats.
