The following table lists all properties in the Arc System that have been successfully acquired since our inception in 1995, as well as those we are currently working to preserve.

The Sanctuary is currently over 3000 acres in size. Over the years we have acquired over ten million dollars of property and  purchased 61 properties, with most of the funds coming from private donations. Property names highlighted in blue were partially funded with Clean Ohio grant money. Property names highlighted in red were generously donated to the Arc of Appalachia Preserve System through our land steward program or outright donation.
