The records of the Arkansas Conservation Coalition (ACC) consist of its bylaws and minutes, correspondence with concerned citizens and files on certain issues that the ACC had involved itself. These issues included various environmental concerns such as the Ouachita National Forest Plan, Lee Creek development, and the Pindall Landfill, as well as topics like city planning, hazardous and low-level radio- active waste, and wetlands preservation.
The ACC was formed in 1981 to “protect and conserve the natural and scenic qualities of our environment.” Membership includes such organizations as the Arkansas Audubon Society, Arkansas Wildlife Federation and the League of Women Voters. The administration of the ACC is directed by a Planning Committee consisting of five members. These members are representatives of individual organizations within the ACC and serve for one year on a rotating basis. The Planning Committee is responsible for setting up meetings and preparing the agendas. In addition, the committee recommends a Coordinator for a six month term and is the spokesperson for the ACC. The ACC is still an active organization (as of April 1989).
