KSNPC's Mission:
To protect Kentucky's natural heritage by (1) 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; (2) working with others to protect biological diversity; and (3) educating Kentuckians as to the value and purpose of nature preserves and biodiversity conservation.

  The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission's Biennial Report (January 2009)  The report features the commission's ongoing work to inventory and monitor rare species and ecological communities, preserve the few remaining undisturbed natural areas and educate Kentuckians on the value of nature preserves and biodiversity protection.
