 Kentucky Heritage Land Conservation Fund Mission

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

NEW starSelect one of the new "Nature's Finest" license plates by clicking the underlined text.  Your purchase of the plates supports the preservation of critical areas across Kentucky.  

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.
