Program areas at KNLT

Knlt is working to protect the wildlands corridors along pine and cumberland mountains and other important Natural areas statewide. Knlt's first project was raising funds in partnership with the office of Kentucky nature preserves (formerly ksnpc) to preserve Kentucky's largest old growth forest now blanton forest state nature preserve. Since then, knlt has protected thousands of acres of Kentucky's wildlands statewide through acquisitions and conservation easements. Through 2023, knlt has directly purchased and protected over 18,000 acres and partnered with other conservation organizations to protect an additional 39,000 acres in Kentucky, knlt continues to steward thousands of acres of wildlands - both knlt preserves and other important conservation areas held by partners.
