Thank you to the over 40 volunteers who planted 400 trees along a tributary of White Oak Bayou in Burns Park that was in the path of the 3/31/2023 tornado. Funding for the Reforestation of NLR BURNS PARK WHITE OAK BAYOU was made possible by the USDA Forest Service Urban and Community Forest Program in partnership with the Arkansas Dept. of Agriculture Forestry Division, North Little Rock City Council Members Ron Harris and Steve Baxter of Ward 3, City of NLR Parks & Recreation, Holloway Engineering, Survey & Civil Design, PLLC, Lake Liquor, Carpenter Construction, North Little Rock Tourism, Bob & Edy Wenner, Alliance Technical Group, and Brock Custom Homes. Special thanks to NLR Parks & Rec Foreman Patrick Isbell, Roy Andrews of Holloway Engineering, and Maumelle Director of Planning & Permits Scott Grummmer, all who coordinated the planting. If you took photos of this event, please share them! Photo by Scout Leader Michael Williamson with Maumelle's BSA Troop #6295.
