Appalachian Headwaters

About

Appalachian Headwaters is a conservation and education organization focused on ecological restoration, native habitat recovery, and environmental literacy. Through projects like pollinator restoration, reforestation, and nature-based youth camps, the organization works to heal damaged landscapes while giving students and families meaningful experiences in the outdoors. Its mission is grounded in science, education, and long-term stewardship of Appalachian ecosystems.

By combining restoration with education, Appalachian Headwaters plays an essential role in building the next generation of outdoor stewards. Their programs help young people understand the value of forests, rivers, and wildlife, while their restoration work improves the quality of the places people hike, bike, and paddle. This dual focus on conservation and education directly supports Access Appalachia’s vision of a healthy, resilient outdoor recreation economy.
