Save Kentucky's Hemlocks is a partnership of citizens, non-profits and government agencies working together to save eastern hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis), a foundation species in the southern Appalachian region, from the impacts of hemlock woolly adelgid. Funding the initiative combines limited government funds with private donations to the Kentucky Natural Lands Trust, a nonprofit organization, with lead gifts from Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc., and Columbia Gas.

Toyota Motor Manufacturing of Kentucky (TMMK), Inc. is the lead sponsor of the Save Kentucky’s Hemlock project. Funds from TMMK are directly supporting treatments of hemlock trees in the priority areas as well as allowing Save Kentucky’s Hemlocks to educate Kentuckians about the importance of hemlocks to our state and the devastation caused by the hemlock woolly adelgid.

To raise the awareness and resources needed to protect Kentucky’s natural areas.
