Support the Natural Heritage Commission! You can help spread the word about the natural heritage of Arkansas by adding the link www.naturalheritage.com to your website. Linking to and from related sites helps both sites perform better for keywords in search engines. The mission of the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission (ANHC) is to identify and protect the remaining high-quality natural communities and maintain information on the distribution and status of rare plant and animal species that live within the state. As Arkansas continues to grow and develop, it is vital that we identify and protect the best examples of our remaining natural heritage. By focusing our attention upon those natural communities and species that need the most protection, we can help to ensure that Arkansas's unique natural diversity is not lost. Place one of the colorful icons below on your site and support The Natural Heritage Commission and its mission.
