“Without those people and their hard work, the rest of us wouldn’t be able to eat.”

To further support the exemplary attitude of America’s farmers who are rolling up their sleeves, Carhartt is contributing $350,000 to The Nature Conservancy (TNC), a global environmental nonprofit, to support efforts in land conservation.

In Montana, TNC preserves working lands to support current and future generations of farm families by focusing on the benefits to natural systems and local communities.
