Program Webinar

January 15, 2025

Noon-1PM

REGISTER HERE


The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is pleased to offer funding opportunities across the Appalachians landscape through its Resilient and Connected Appalachians (RCA) Grant Program.


Applicants may request up to $100,000 to support projects that result in the permanent protection of resilient and connected lands within TNC’s Appalachians Program area. The program area includes all or portions of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.


TNC identified and mapped a connected network of climate resilient sites across the United States, which we call the Resilient and Connected Network (RCN). If conserved, the RCN will help sustain biodiversity, as well as protect the drinking water sources, carbon stocks, and recreational and economic resources that people depend on. 


The TNC Appalachians Program boundary, the RCN and the focal areas can be explored in the Resilient and Connected Appalachians Map Viewer.
