The above area, Stone Mountain Wildlife Management Area/State Natural Area, is a 1,025-acre property located in Harlan County and was purchased with Nature Plate funds. It is jointly managed by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission.
Established in 1994, KHLCF provides funding for preserving and conserving natural areas that possess unique features such as:
- Areas which are a habitat for rare and endangered species
- Areas important to migratory birds
- Areas that perform important natural functions that are subject to alteration or loss
- Areas to be preserved in their natural state for public use, outdoor recreation and education
The Heritage Land Conservation Fund Board gives special consideration to funding agencies working together to meet these goals.
Revenue for the fund comes from the Nature License Plate, the state portion of the unmined minerals tax, and environmental fines. The Environmental Education Council receives $150,000 of environmental fines each year for environmental education programs.
