Our Solution

In addition to our monthly electronic newsletter and the three meetings we hold throughout the year that are designed to share information and build strong networks throughout the region, the Alliance for the Cumberlands is working to find solutions to the problems facing this region that is so rich in natural, cultural, and historic resources and so poor economically. 

In an effort to reach truly sustainable solutions to the economic and ecological problems facing this region, the member organizations of the Alliance for the Cumberlands have come together to support efforts to promote a new sustainable market for eco and heritage-based tourism in the region (see LetsGoPlateau). By increasing tourism to Cumberland Plateau, we hope to attract revenue to the region that will give economic value to the natural, cultural, and historic resources of the region.
