Dearest Friends,

This year, we're trying something a little different, and we couldn't be more excited to share our idea with you.

Rather than host our Donor Gathering at one time and place, as we’ve done in the past, we're inviting our Donor Community to join us for one or both of two unique Donor Gatherings this fall. Both events will celebrate the landscapes, history, and people that make the Arc’s labors so meaningful, while providing an opportunity for you to spend time with fellow supporters who share your deep commitment to protecting wildlands in the Appalachian heartland.

The Arc community is united by something extraordinary - the belief that the forests, prairies, streams, and sacred places in our midst are worth cherishing and VERY worth protecting, not just during our generation, but for the eons to come. We hope you'll join us as we explore two places you've helped preserve, and introduce you to more members of the incredible community that has made this work possible. If you come to Simon Woods, you will have a chance to engage in the finest sorghum festival in all of Appalachia. Click on one or both events below to get more information and register. Because we are offering lunch, pre-registration is requested.
