Land Conservation

The preservation of our natural landscapes is essential to creating and maintaining a high quality of life for Middle Tennessee residents. Dwindling natural resources, a rapidly changing climate, and an economy in flux pose increasing challenges to our environment and society. Couple that with our area’s rapidly growing population, and there is no question that we must proactively protect our beautiful open spaces if we wish them to be available for future generations.

Land, Air, and Water Pollution

Middle Tennessee treasures its beautiful open spaces. Our landscape is part of our history. We must be diligent to ensure that it remains part of our future. With 1 million new people projected to call Middle Tennessee home by 2035, there is no question that we must plan for conservation the way we currently plan for development, and that we must protect our natural assets by reducing Middle Tennessee’s levels of air, land, and water pollution. By supporting those Middle Tennessee nonprofits specializing in environmental initiatives – and by each pledging to live a “greener” lifestyle – we can start to make a difference. Whether we live in an apartment or home, these small choices can help create a healthier, cleaner and safer environment for everyone. Combating pollution in our area will take more than picking up discarded trash from the sides of our roadways; it means looking to the water and air, as well as the land.
