Conserving the natural beauty and ecological richness of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau together.
Welcome to Coins for Conservation
A community-driven initiative to protect the natural treasures of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
Our region is home to one of the most biologically diverse and ecologically important landscapes in the world. By supporting our program, you help preserve this unique environment for current and future generations.
How We Help
Coins for Conservation brings together local businesses and conservation-minded individuals to support two dedicated nonprofits—the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust (HCLT) and the Highlands Biological Foundation (HBF). By contributing, you’re supporting their ongoing efforts to protect our forests, waterways, and wildlife while also funding important scientific research and educational programs.
How it Works
Participating businesses can support Coins for Conservation in one of two ways:
Per Transaction from Customer

Percentage from Business
“Coins for Conservation is a wonderful way for our visitors and residents to make small continuous investments in conserving and preserving our unique mountain environment.”
