Little Rock Parks and Recreation has received a generous donation of 12,000 Oak tree saplings from the KKAC Organization to help restore Rock Creek Trail.

To celebrate this donation, the Little Rock Parks and Recreation Volunteer Division is kicking off Global Volunteer Month by inviting the public to the #LRStrong: ReLeaf Rock Creek Trail tree planting event on Saturday, April 5, at 9:00 a.m. Volunteers will meet at the trailhead behind Comet Cleaners at 200 N. Bowman Rd, 72211 and lunch will be provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle, trowel or shovel, and gloves.

The EF3 tornado that struck Little Rock on March 31, 2023, caused extensive damage to Rock Creek Trail. While the city and its residents have made significant progress in restoring the area, many trees continue to die due to storm-related damage, leaving the landscape sparse. Recognizing the need for reforestation, the KKAC Organization, through a U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service grant, has partnered with Little Rock Parks and Recreation to help replenish the tree canopy.

This project is a vital part of the City's ongoing tornado recovery efforts, and it would not be possible without the continued support of the public.
