Gov. Huckabee announces heritage month grant to Forrest L. Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center
JONESBORO - Gov. Mike Huckabee recently announced that the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation is among 20 organizations and communities selected to receive grants for events or programs during Heritage Month, sponsored each year in May by the Department of Arkansas Heritage.

Funded events will reflect this year's theme, Arkansas Gardens: The Roots of Our Heritage, a celebration of the many types of gardens that make up the Arkansas landscape. Heritage Month grants are supported each year with $50,000 from the 1/8th-Cent Conservation Sales Tax. The Foundation will receive $4,731 for a program series to include guest speakers and self-guided tours at the Forrest L. Wood Crowley's Ridge Nature Center in Jonesboro.

"Our state is known for its beautiful gardens and natural areas," Huckabee said. "I hope all Arkansans will take part in these Heritage Month events. They will gain a new appreciation for what we have in Arkansas."

The Department of Arkansas Heritage, through the work of its seven agencies, seeks to recognize the state's heritage and to enhance Arkansans' quality of life through the discovery, preservation and presentation of the state's natural, cultural and historic resources. The agencies are Arkansas Arts Council, Arkansas Historic Preservation Program, Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, Delta Cultural Center in Helena, Historic Arkansas Museum, Mosaic Templars Cultural Center and Old State House Museum.
