Alliance of National Heritage Areas
An environmental summary by the ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.
The Alliance of National Heritage Areas (ANHA) is a private non-profit membership association of Congressionally designated National Heritage Areas and partner-affiliated organizations. The ANHA is best described as a facilitator, advocate and resource for the successful implementation of National Heritage Areas (NHA)[1]. Membership is allowed from any designated National Heritage Area, as well as any area undertaking the designation process, and allied organizations that wish to promote a NHA and their missions[1].
Activities
Every year the ANHA holds an annual meeting in Washington DC. The meeting is a place to share current projects, struggles, and goals for the NHAs. The ANHA facilitates volunteer opportunities, pilot’s educational programs that go straight to NHAs, assists in the creation of trail systems, as well as their maintenance, and assists in the procurement of federal funding[1]. The ANHA also holds two other meetings each year, held at different NHAs around the country.[1]. Other activities aim to further industry best practices; promote networking and professional development; and advocate on behalf of its members with Congress.
Partnerships
All 54 NHAs are members of the ANHA. Other partnerships include the National Park Service, National Parks Conservation Association, National Park Foundation, National Trust for Historic Preservation, the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, and the Southeast Tourism Society.
