Our Mission

On September 30, 2016, Governor Asa Hutchinson announced the Beautiful Buffalo River Action Committee. To address water quality concerns throughout the watershed and ensure the Buffalo National River maintains all designated uses, the Committee will “establish measurable objectives, set achievable action items, establish durable partnerships, share agency resources, and inform policymakers and the general public of relevant progress.”



Governor’s Call to Action

“As Governor of the State of Arkansas, it is my position that Arkansans best understand the value of the state’s natural resources and, as a result, must lead in protecting them now and for future generations. The Buffalo National River is a source of great scenic beauty, an unique habitat, an agricultural resource, and a preeminent tourism destination. This landmark is vitality important to the state and nation. The Buffalo River water quality is monitored and continues to meet the extraordinary resource water quality standards. In recent years, concerns have been raised about possible water quality issues in tributaries to the river within the watershed. In response to these concerns, my administration will be proactive, as I am committed to protecting and supporting the vitality of the Buffalo National River.”
