$6M Effort Underway to Conserve Blue Mountain


Blue Mountain
(Submitted by TNC)
The Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission and The Nature Conservancy in Arkansas announced this week an effort to conserve the 458-acre Blue Mountain, the westernmost peak in the Maumelle Pinnacles chain.
The commission is seeking grants from the Department of Arkansas Heritage’s Natural and Cultural Resources Council to provide $4 million for the project, according to Jen Barnhouse, director of philanthropy for TNC. 
At the same time, TNC is raising another $2 million and has already raised 75% of that goal.
Half will go toward purchasing the property from PotlatchDeltic Corp., a publicly traded timberland real estate investment trust. It will use the other half for long-term management and the development of trails for hikers and mountain bikers; a welcome area where visitors could picnic; parking; and interpretive signage.
