Terre Noire Natural Area, located in the West Gulf Coastal Plain, is one of the highest-quality blackland prairies remaining in the state. The site is a mosaic of native herbaceous and woody vegetation, and includes little-grazed, high-quality prairie areas, a formerly grazed prairie of somewhat lower quality, and forested areas that illustrate the forest matrix within which the prairie openings existed in southwestern Arkansas. The Natural Heritage Commission and The Nature Conservancy share ownership in portions of this area.
