The Conservation Fund has protected nearly 2,000 acres, including historic sites and wildlife habitat, in the state of Arkansas.
The Conservation Fund's Civil War Battlefield Campaign works in partnerships to protect our nation's hallowed ground, to provide comprehensive information on the 384 principal Civil War battlefields, designated by the Civil War Sites Advisory Commission, and to honor those that fought and died in the war. The Campaign has, with its partners, protected historic sites in 73 projects in 13 states, protecting more than 8,100 acres.
Arkansas Battlefield Conservation Projects: Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park
United States forces commanded by Brigadier General James G. Blunt and Brigadier General Francis J. Herron defeated Major General Thomas C. Hindman’s Confederates on December 7, 1862. This victory enabled the Federals to retain control of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri.
We purchased historic land, overlooking the battlefield from the site of the Confederate line, using our Battlefield Revolving Fund established with grants from The Gilder Foundation, and held it until the state of Arkansas had the funding to purchase it and add it to the Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park.
Acres Protected: 1,098,062

As a land conservation organization, we remain focused on protecting healthy coastal habitat for wildlife throughout the region. While we do not work on the frontlines—fighting the oil washing ashore or assisting animals that have been oiled—we are dedicated to saving and restoring habitat. We invite you to learn more about our response.
