The University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service is working with Newton County, Rio Buffalo Outfitters, landowners and the Arkansas Watershed Steward Program to conduct an illegal dumpsite cleanup in Low Gap, Arkansas. The litter removed will become a part of a Buffalo River Trash Index and audit as called for the Buffalo River Watershed Management Plan. Volunteers will be provided with the necessary cleanup supplies and are encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather and getting a little dirty.
