Why A RRG Land Trust? 

Isn’t RRG already protected by the National Forest?

Yes and no. Many people have this question, and the confusion is understandable. Many visitors know the RRG as the many wonderful official Forest Service trails and land, which are indeed protected by the U.S Forest Service.

However, there are significant portions of private land in the RRG area at risk of development, which could cause harm to the fragile ecosystems and sandstone cliffs. We’re working to protect these areas through our land trust and conservation easements.

So what is the Red River Gorge? Where is RRG United working?
