Places We Protect
Our Protected Properties
The Nature Conservancy of Kentucky has protected over 45,000 acres in our state. Many of these properties are protected through easements and others have been transferred to state and local agencies that will also keep them protected. We currently have 40 preserves that we continue to own and manage. Learn more about our focus areas and our preserves from the list below. Help protect our property by becoming a Preserve Monitor.
