What We're Doing
Preserving the Cumberland Way of Life
Both our human and natural communities in the plateau region share unique ways of life. Each of our programs are centered on partnerships that build common ground – because sustainability can only be achieved through the shared values of our businesses, communities and bodies of government.
VISION 2030
We work with communities across the plateau region to collect and communicate the conservation vision of their residents. It’s all about forming stronger relationships in plateau communities that make the Alliance a bridge between its residents’ lifeways and the urgent need to conserve its open lands.
The Regional Marketing Plan
We increase the economic value of the plateau region’s natural, cultural and historic resources by increasing eco-heritage tourism visitation. Sustainable tourism is a fundamental component among the region’s varied conservation initiatives; that for optimal conservation, our visitors will be one of the sources from which the region’s wealth and livelihood are found.
