The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission (KSNPC) will conduct a quarterly public meeting on Wednesday, December 12, 2007, at 10amET/9amCT, in the conference room of the Division for Air Quality, adjacent to the commissions office, 801 Schenkel Lane, Frankfort, KY.
A highlight of the meeting will be the presentation of the commissions two most prestigious awards - the Biological Diversity Protection Award, given annually to a person who has made a significant contribution to the protection of Kentuckys biological resources, and the Volunteer Steward Award, which recognizes a person or organization for significant contributions as a volunteer to the stewardship of Kentuckys preserves.




KSNPCs mission is to protect Kentuckys natural heritage by identifying, acquiring and managing natural areas that represent the best-known occurrences of rare, native species, natural communities and significant natural features in a statewide nature preserve system; working with others to protect biological diversity; and educating Kentuckians as to the value and purpose of nature preserves and biodiversity conservation.

The commission inventories Kentucky for significant natural areas and protects the best examples in a state nature preserve system.
