Statewide today is the Great Arkansas River Clean Up. There will be boats all along the Arkansas River picking up trash, I thought we could help by getting trash in this area before it makes it to the water.
We will meet at Mike Meyers Park at the end of Main Street in Van Buren (posted coords) at 9 a.m. Sign the log, chit chat, swap trackables, grab a trash bag and go. Finish up around 11 a.m.
Here's where the fun part comes in...bring your bicycle if you have one and let's get a ride in while cleaning up the area. It is almost a 4 mile loop from the starting coords to the boat ramp NW of here and back. That would be a great route for those with bicycles. For those without a bike or those just wanting to walk, the area of Mike Meyers park and around the marina would be a good place to clean.
I'm hoping we can loop the trash bags to our handlebars or in a basket. It will be alot of, get off bike, get trash, get back on bike, etc. But it should be fun!
Keep Van Buren Beautiful will loan us supplies, but bring grabbers and gloves if you have them.
