Arkansas Annual Report 2025
Read about our achievements over the past year for nature and people.
Letter from the Director
If you’ve ever watched the sun rise over the Delta or hiked through the quiet beauty of the Ozarks and Ouachitas, you know Arkansas is special. Its landscapes are diverse, resilient and deeply rooted in the people who care for them.
Since our chapter of The Nature Conservancy was founded in 1982, we’ve grown from a small team with a big vision into a statewide force for conservation. Today, our work is guided by bold goals for 2030 and focused on three core strategies: advancing regenerative agriculture, conserving Arkansas’ lands, and protecting the waters that connect us all. We’re also staying engaged in the evolving conversation around renewable energy, ensuring that as Arkansas grows, nature remains part of the equation.
This year’s Impact Report is full of stories about what your support makes possible and where we are going together. Every success is built on partnerships, and none of this work is achievable without your support. Your generosity fuels our progress, allowing us to act quickly, think boldly and invest in the solutions that matter most.
As a Legacy Club member and a father, I often think about the world we’re leaving behind. Conservation isn’t just about protecting what we have today, it’s about shaping what we pass on to our children and grandchildren. That’s why I’ve made a personal commitment to ensure that this work continues for generations to come, and I invite you to do the same.
Thank you for believing in this mission. Together, we’re building something lasting.
