A sweeping panoramic view captures a vast landscape of rolling green mountains and valleys under a bright blue sky filled with puffy white clouds. A highway winds through the valley floor where a town is situated, with a plume of white smoke rising in the distance, while rocky outcrops and trees frame the foreground.

A scenic landscape view captures a winding blue river snaking through a deep valley surrounded by rolling hills covered in dense forest with early autumn hues of yellow and green. In the distance, layers of blue mountain ridges fade against a bright sky filled with horizontal bands of white clouds.

Fern Lake in the Appalachians - now protected thanks to The Nature Conservancy and Conservation Fund purchasing 712 acres in 2023.

This fall scene will be here for generations. Photography meets conservation.
