As part of a citywide effort to beautify the city, the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service will hold a cleanup of Coleman Creek on Saturday, March 10. 

The effort is part of the Annual Great American City Wide Cleanup event, where volunteers work to beautify locations all over Little Rock.

The cleanup will be a half-day event starting with volunteer check-in at 8 a.m. at the Arkansas System Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service parking lot. Cleanup work will begin at 8:30 a.m. and finish at noon.

UA Little Rock faculty, staff, and students, as well as members of the public, are invited to volunteer during the cleanup day. Volunteers are encouraged to wear appropriate shoes like rain boots and waders and to bring work gloves.

Volunteers can sign up using this online link. Contact Kristin Higgins at khiggins@uaex.edu or 501-671-2160 for more information.
