The Land Trust for the Little Tennessee is a community-based nonprofit which, since 1999, has been a key agent for the protection of more than 5000 acres, including riverfront lands along nearly one-third of the free-flowing Little Tennessee River.

Our mission is to conserve the waters, forests, farms and heritage of the upper Little Tennessee and Hiwassee River valleys.

Become involved in our efforts to conserve this magnificent, historic landscape by joining LTLT!

• Gifts of Stocks & Securities
  A gift of appreciated stock can provide much-needed support for LTLT, while also lowering your taxes.

• Providing for LTLT in Your Will
  A Brief Guide to Planned Giving is now available here. You can find basic information about bequests, trusts, and other common methods of planned giving. Each inquiry is handled confidentially and places you under no obligation.



• Volunteering
  Your time is just as valuable as any monetary contribution. LTLT needs your help with land stewardship to keep up the good work that has been started on the land we own and manage on invasive exotic plant (IEP) species control, general trash clean up, and restoration planting. We also use volunteers on specific projects in the office such as mailings and record keeping, and during our larger events we need volunteers to help with parking, item sales, and general organization. For more information, contact Kate Parkerson at kparkerson@ltlt.org.

Whichever way you choose to give, thank you for supporting the mission of The Land Trust for the Little Tennessee.
