Through the Pine Mountain Wildlife Corridor, KNLT is working to connect existing protected areas on Pine Mountain to form a contiguous forest block and migratory corridor from Virginia to Tennessee, a distance of nearly 120 miles. Large forest blocks are extremely important for the survival of many different plants and animals as well as to the health of the forest itself. KNLT partners with the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission to identify those areas most in need of protection, negotiate the purchase of land with willing sellers, and implement a stewardship plan. Areas of critical ecological importance receive the state's highest form of protection by being dedicated as a Kentucky State Nature Preserve.

Pine Mountain Wildlife Corridor Goals:
• Protect and manage all ecologically significant wildlands
• Maintain a continuous forested corridor of protected and sustainably managed land the entire length of the mountain,
• Engage landowners in conversation about the future of Pine Mountain and provide information about sustainable forest management.
• Encourage and support locally owned, environmentally compatible economic enterprises.
