Programs
Budget
$1,000,000.00
Description
The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee's Sustainable Agriculture program works directly with farmers, farm groups, agencies, universities and supply chain companies to support research, innovation and education around farm conservation.
Our strategies aim to increase the adoption of on farm conservation practices through the increased socialization of on farm conservation, through demonstration of feasibility and benefits and by working with stakeholders to develop new mechanisms for financial and technical support of on farm conservation.

The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee participates in efforts to care for our urban environments with a focus on sustainability, conservation, and enhancing the quality of life for both people and nature.
We are working to build a healthy and sustainable future for Tennessee cities by leading and engaging with a diverse network of decision-makers and stakeholders in establishing the Metro Nashville area as a model for, climate-focused urban conservation planning and action, including the equitable and meaningful integration of nature-based solutions.

Description
The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee's targeted land acquisitions protect and restore Tennessee's most resilient lands and waters.
We have identified the Appalachians as one of four global focal places for the organization - places best positioned to contribute to our climate change and biodiversity objectives. The goal for protection in the larger Appalachians (which includes the Central and Southern Appalachian regions in Tennessee) is to conserve a connected network of lands from northern Alabama to Canada, establishing a climate migration corridor to safeguard biodiversity as the climate changes.

Description
The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee is working to harness the power of Tennessee's highest carbon valued, most climate resilient and biodiverse forests by engaging with forest landowners, utilizing carbon markets to incentivize carbon sequestration, and protecting and improving management of our forests.
To limit global warming to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius, we will use the power of nature and the strength of policy and markets to reduce emissions, support renewable energy, and store carbon to reach TNC's 2030 goals of avoiding or sequestering 3 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions globally each year.

Description
The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee implements strategies to improve and maintain the health and biodiversity of fire dependent ecosystems and increase the climate resiliency of Tennessee's fire adapted landscapes.
There is increasing recognition that Tennessee's forests have changed greatly since the accounts of the earliest settlers. Through The Nature Conservancy's efforts in the Southern Blue Ridge, we are working on meaningful change in the perception of and implementation of ecological restoration.

Description
The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee is working to conserve the freshwater diversity of the Tennessee and Cumberland River basins by protecting and restoring the natural range of variation in ecological processes that influence river and stream habitat conditions in the most diverse, connected, resilient, representative watersheds in the Tennessee and Cumberland basins.
The Tennessee and Cumberland River Basins are two of the most biologically diverse river systems in North America. Home to more than 300 species of fish and 125 species of mussels, they are an irreplaceable part of Tennessee's natural heritage. These same waters are major drivers of Tennessee's economy and quality of life. They generate power, support thirsty cities and crops, and fuel a booming outdoor tourism economy. These competing demands create both challenges and opportunities for conservation strategies that benefit both nature and people
