Arc Of Appalachia

Education - In 2024, the Arc of Appalachia was committed to teaching nature literacy through workshops, courses, and educational articles provided to the general public, through a monthly series of free workshops for youths called "Nature is Neat," through maintaining nearly 80 miles of public hiking trails which facilitates direct learning, and through interpretive murals and one-on-one contact in the Appalachian Forest Museum at the Arc's headquarters. In 2024, the Arc attracted 140,542 visitors, a 45% increase from 2023's attendance. Numbers were calculated with the aid of headcounts, registration data, and car counters.
