GARNA is leading the way in conservation in the Upper Arkansas Valley with education programs highlighting the unique natural, cultural and historic resources, on-the-ground chapters engaged in multi-use trail management and monitoring, and formal partnerships with public land management agencies. GARNA's educational programs reach over 3,000 people per year, with the goal of creating a highly informed public with place-based understanding of the Valley's natural resources and our human impacts on them.
GARNA’s is nature based and community driven, and our mission is to foster stewardship of the resources of the greater Arkansas River region through education, volunteerism and experiences.
