Appalachian Wildlife Foundation

The Appalachian Wildlife Foundation is headquartered in Corbin, Kentucky and pursues an 'E3' strategy linking economic, educational, and environmental renewal in Appalachia. Its flagship project, Boone's Ridge, is a 12,000-acre site in Bell County, KY near Cumberland Gap National Park that combines ecological restoration and habitat preservation (including elk and over 260 bird species) with a visitor center and conservation education programs for K-12 students, developed in partnership with institutions like the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
