Fourche Creek is a Cypress-lined creek that snakes through a large area of undeveloped bottomland woods. The Fourche drains eastern Saline and central Pulaski counties and, incredibly, 98% of Little Rock, emptying into the Arkansas River just south of the downtown area. Unfortunately, decades of neglect means that all the litter and debris from city streets, parking lots and neighborhoods has piled up in and along the creek’s banks. Efforts by numerous organizations are underway to clean up the creek so that it can be used and enjoyed as a wonderful urban wetland resource.
We will meet at this listed coordinates (parking lot) at 1:00 P.M. Bags are being provided by the Arkansas Canoe Club.
Remember where we are, Arkansas... so please bring water, gloves, and insect repellent.
On this day, March 14th there will be a large Fourche Creek Clean-Up effort as a part of the city-wide Keep Little Rock Beautiful events. In preparation for this event, we have gathered GPS coordinates for an area that needs out attention, which we will accessed via a short hike. Once at our area, we'll bag the trash we see! The Arkansas Canoe Club will gather the bags for pickup.
We plan on being finished around 3:00 P.M.
