The Nature Conservancy is celebrating 50 years of conservation in the Bluegrass State. Together with partners, communities and supporters, we have achieved so much, including the protection of more than 155,000 acres of land, reconnecting 198 miles of free-flowing water on the Green River and restoring nearly 20,000 acres of floodplain wetlands.

This September, we are throwing a party worthy of those wins—and we hope you will join us!

We’ll raise a glass to acknowledge nature’s visionaries and vanguards who are working to make Kentucky an incredible place to live, work and play—yesterday, today and tomorrow.
