The Appalachian Land Study is a collaborative public research effort among diverse stakeholders in Central Appalachia that began to take shape in the fall of 2016. Inspired by the historic 1979 Appalachian Land Ownership Study, we are documenting patterns of land and resource ownership and the revenues they generate, as well as studying our own relationships to the land. Together, we are working together to take stock of our shared land and natural resources, the wealth they generate, and our vision for the Appalachia we want.
