Stories, News and Events from the Mountain

When I first heard about Lookout Mountain Conservancy, I was skeptical.

Lookout Mountain Conservancy — an amazing organization where I was able to learn about and better myself. I think of LMC and The Howard School Leadership Program as the place where I found myself.

When I first started working with LMC, I didn’t believe in myself and was scared to do new things.

I joined Lookout Mountain Conservancy a few summers ago after hearing about it through my older sister Sade who went through the program.

As my graduation approaches, I find myself looking back over the past few years and all of the hardships I have overcome.

This past week, we hosted the grand opening of our greenhouse, aptly named "Robyn's Nest" by our board of directors in honor of Robyn Carlton, LMC's President & CEO whose vision and tireless efforts made this capital project come to fruition.

Chattanooga, TN — The 4th annual Wauhatchie Boulderfest unfolded on a cold but beautiful Sunday, January 14th, 2024, at Lookout Mountain Conservancy’s Rockmont Park.

I joined the Intern & Leadership Program in 2013 as part of one of the very first groups to work on the mountain.

Reflecting on this past year, we feel grateful.

I joined LMC as a rising sophomore in 2019. At first, I assumed it would be like any other job, tedious and boring.

Thanks to ticket sales and generous donations from you, your friends, and neighbors, the Annual Shrimp Boil raised over $15,000

When I was little it was just me, my older sister, and our parents. I loved being able to spend as much time with them as I wanted.

Making progress

It’s been a tough year full of challenges and we are glad to be back together.

As a land conservancy, we focus on protecting and preserving lands for current and future generations.
