Our Mission
To collaboratively sustain regional capacity for natural resource stewardship and use to ensure a continued high quality of life for our Riverlands region.
Our Vision
The Riverlands region of western Kentucky and Tennessee will remain a top outdoor recreation destination in America, with working lands and communities flourishing with fish, wildlife, and natural resources supported by healthy forests, grasslands, wetlands, and rivers. The region will thrive economically through an emphasis on outdoor recreation, sustainable resource use, and a high quality of life, while promoting the heritage and proud sense of place important to residents and visitors to the area.
The Riverlands Outdoor Heritage Conservation Alliance (Riverlands Alliance) will engage communities to work with others outside their daily boundaries. This will better address threats and challenges that have the potential to degrade our outdoor heritage and sense of place that we cherish today in western Kentucky and Tennessee.
One positive benefit of Riverlands Alliance is collaborating with participants to aid in sharing of information. Other benefits include assisting participants in projects already in progress, as well as working together to come up with projects we will help facilitate. Riverlands Alliance called upon State Community Development Specialists, Dr. Sreedhar Upendram from University of Tennessee Cooperative Extension, and Dr. Dan Kahl from University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension, CEDIK for facilitation of communication among participants.
