Where has Chuck been this month?

February: It was a dream of Alice Walton (daughter of Sam Walton) to establish as a gift – a world-class art museum in Arkansas—with the belief that American art belongs in the heartland. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is that dream come true. It tells the story of America from the Colonial era to the present through original masterpieces. The Lower Lake Waterfowl Refuge south of DeGray Lake near Arkadelphia is a 400-acre haven for all sorts of waterfowl plus bald eagles. The Wolf House- a two story log building built in 1829 in Norfork happens to be the oldest public structure in Arkansas. Falls Creek Falls at Lake Catherine State Park near Hot Springs is an easy hike to a peaceful waterfall setting that’s surrounded by huge boulders for plenty of sit-down space to enjoy a pack lunch by the water.

Arkansas's National Wildlife Refuges

Host Chuck Dovish takes viewers on a tour of Arkansas’s National Wildlife Refuges. Arkansas harbors 10 national wildlife refuges, scattered throughout the state, with nine having public access.

These refuges are specially designated areas within the National Wildlife Refuge System that have been set aside to conserve and protect America's fish, plants and wildlife.

Each refuge is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a federal agency charged with conservation of wildlife, as well as facilitating recreational opportunities that include hunting, fishing, birding, photography, environmental education and refuge wildlife interpretation. Arkansas has over 330,000 acres of these unique and important wetlands.
