TennGreen Land Conservancy’s Hike-a-Thon is an event unlike any other in the Southeast! This event celebrates the great outdoors and raises much-needed funds for conservation by connecting participants with nature and awarding outstanding prizes to individuals and teams throughout the month of June. There are several prize categories for participants interested in hiking, paddling, mountain biking, climbing, and more!

Through this peer-to-peer fundraising event, participants can serve as active advocates for conservation by inviting their friends, family, and colleagues to support them in their endeavors. Unlike a one-day race or walk, the Hike-a-Thon is a month-long event—enabling people of all ages, locations, and abilities to “compete” for a good cause.

TennGreen Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) environmental nonprofit and the oldest accredited statewide land conservancy in Tennessee. TennGreen protects, cares for, and connects people with Tennessee’s natural world by providing meaningful outdoor experiences, establishing conservation easements, supporting restoration efforts, and acquiring (or assisting in the acquisition of) privately-held land. We envision large, connected, natural areas that support diversity of life, inspire the appreciation of nature, and spark action to protect the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the land that sustains us all.

WHY PROTECT LAND?
Tennessee is known for its extraordinary beauty from the mighty Mississippi to the Great Smoky Mountains. Our rich forests, farms, and wetlands are not only our home but also home to a vast diversity of fish and wildlife. Tennessee is experiencing extreme human development pressure, and every missed opportunity to protect our unique lands is an irreversible loss to our future. We must act swiftly and smartly to protect the places that provide us all well-being and an unrivaled quality of life.
