Bluegrass Land Conservancy

Bluegrass Land Conservancy Since 1995, Bluegrass Land Conservancy has protected over 38,000 acres of land in 26 counties in KY!

Bluegrass Land Conservancy is the largest regional, accredited land trust in Kentucky, and spans Kentucky's two most populated metropolitan areas, covering the very best farmland in the Commonwealth, with over 30,000 acres of land already protected. BLC protects the Bluegrass region for current and future generations, with a focus on prime farmland soils, scenic open space, water resources, natural areas, rural heritage, and, of course, agricultural viability.

The future of Kentucky’s farmland starts with the people who care for it today.🌱

Hear from Jim Mansfield and Lynn Pruett of Four Hills Farm-Lamb about why land conservation and stewardship matter—not just for their farm, but for their community and generations to come.

Conservation is about more than protecting land—it’s about giving it the chance to heal and flourish.🌿

At Bay Stone Farm, second-generation owners Anastasia Curwood, Carol Skricki, and Karen Isberg are restoring habitat, removing invasive species, and allowing their pastures to re-wild while preserving a place where people, horses, and nature can thrive together.

Their commitment to stewardship is helping ensure this conserved property remains healthy and resilient for generations to come.

🎥See Anastasia and Carol discuss caring for the land with vision, dedication, and heart.
