Protect the View

The Appalachian Mountain Club has produced this toolkit to help your organization mobilize your audience to speak up for state open space funding, which is a critical resource for protecting your trail landscape.

Protect the View is a science-based campaign and call to action resulting from rigorous conservation and land development analyses. The in-depth research produced 10 views from 6 Circuit Trails that are vulnerable to development pressure. Protect the View visually showcases and highlights the many benefits these scenic trail views have to offer. The campaign catalyzes communication about the importance of open space funding and the need to preserve the scenic value of these places.

Each of the ten trails has a dedicated landing page with its own URL. The pages have an embedded ArcGIS map showcasing the lands identified to provide scenic trail experiences, a take action widget, and high-quality scenic images and videos. Copies of the detailed reports and the project methodology is available on the landing pages.

The Protect the View campaign is planned to launch in December 2020 and remain active through all of 2021.
