A heartfelt thank you to the 86 people who spent a collective 360 hours on Saturday March 11 to cleanup Interstate Park and Fourche Bottoms, plus clear the first 1/2-mile of trail through the bottoms. Volunteers removed 130 bags of trash, 202 tires (176 of which were pulled out by Arkansas Canoe Club in the weeks prior to the event) plus an excavator tire estimated to weigh 2,200 lbs. All of that plus miscellaneous junk added up to about 4 tons of trash! Thanks also to Keep Little Rock Beautiful and American Rivers for supplies and promoting, Starbucks on Sam Peck for coffee, Loblolly Creamery for the coupons, and Davis Tire for the free tire recycling service. Thanks to Arkansas Canoe Club, Central Arkansas Trail Alliance, Central Arkansas Master Naturalists, Entergy, 3M, UALR, and Boy Scouts for bringing groups of volunteers.
