$1 for 1²ft campaign

 

Dear Friends of the Gorge,

For years, the Red River Gorge has been a sanctuary for all of us—its towering cliffs, lush forests, winding trails, and breathtaking vistas have drawn us back, year after year. Whether you're an avid hiker, climber, photographer, or simply someone who appreciates the awe-inspiring beauty of this natural wonder, the Gorge has a place in your heart

But today, the very landscape we've come to love is under threat. Rapid development is spreading through our beloved region, threatening to change its character forever. As new roads, buildings, and commercial developments push their way into the wilderness, the serene beauty and ecological health of the Red River Gorge are at risk.

For as little as $1, you can help preserve 1 square foot of the Gorge for future generations. Every dollar adds up to a significant impact. Your support will go directly toward land acquisition efforts to protect the most vulnerable areas of the Gorge—places we know and love, places that could be lost forever if we don’t act now.

Why Your Contribution Matters:

  • Protect the Landscape: Development threatens the unique beauty of the Gorge. By donating, you're directly helping to save irreplaceable land from destruction.

  • Preserve Wildlife Habitat: The Gorge is home to countless species, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. Protecting the land ensures these animals and plants have a safe place to thrive.

  • Maintain Recreational Access: We all enjoy the freedom to explore this wild place. By preserving the land, we ensure future generations can enjoy the same trails, cliffs, and streams that we do. Safeguard the Future: As the Gorge continues to attract more visitors, the pressure to develop and commercialize grows. Now is the time to act before it's too late.

  • We need you—our dedicated visitors who have seen the Gorge's magic firsthand and understand its value. Whether you've spent decades here or just a few years, your connection to this place matters. Together, we can protect the heart of the Red River Gorge.

  • $1 for 1 Square Foot. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.

How You Can Help:

1. Donate $1 or more to protect one square foot—or more—of land.

2. Share the Campaign with fellow visitors, friends, and family who love the Gorge.

3. Stay Informed: Join our efforts and be part of the movement to keep the Gorge wild, open, and protected.


This is our chance to ensure that the Gorge remains the pristine treasure we know it to be—for us, for our children, and for generations to come. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
