Since 2016, the 500 acres of forests and fields that encompass the Yew Mountain Center have been generously leased to us by a private owner.
This arrangement is coming to an end. To continue to steward the land with community-building programs and to work across the region for conservation and prosperity, our nonprofit organization must meet the challenge of purchasing the property. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million. You can help us reach the goal of local ownership by 2027! |
The fall of 2025, we launched a three-year comprehensive fundraising campaign.
The Yew Mountain Center programs have existed because of the vision of the local community. Now the community has the chance to own the land! We are asking for financial gifts to purchase these special 500 acres and preserve this resource for generations to come.
Starting October 2025, we are offering five ways to make a gift to the Yew Mountain Center.
Now through November 8, 2025:

Who is the Yew?
Created and managed by a committed group of mostly local staff, volunteers, and board members, The Yew Mountain Center has offered innovative, land-based education to nearly one thousand public and private school students and home school groups. Our biodiverse forest farm has become a destination for hundreds of people from across the Appalachian region who come here to learn about the high-value native plants we cultivate in the forest--offering a model of sustainable, economically prudent forest management. The spring-fed ponds, dark sky, and clear streams are the setting for restorative retreats for U.S. Veterans and many others seeking connection with nature. The Yew Mountain Center is also known for our creative and cultural programs—engaging local artists and musicians and offering accessible arts programs to people of all ages.
You and the Yew
Your gift to this campaign will allow us to conserve the land in perpetuity and continue to be a force for learning, conservation, and wellness in our area for generations. Additionally, we will renovate key facilities to better support programs, operate with improved energy efficiency, and generate revenue to deepen our impact.
You can help protect this land and the programs that create community around learning, wellness, and conservation. Your donation will ensure that this precious resource remains responsive and accountable to the people who make their lives in these mountains. Your gift means the world to us.
