Our mission is to engage residents to improve the local environment, including waterways that feed into the Arkansas River, through litter prevention, beautification, recycling and education.
What We Do
Cleanups
We organize the Great North Little Rock Cleanup in May and the Great Arkansas River Cleanup in the fall. We also have smaller cleanups during the year.
Tree Seedlings
Every spring, we pot between 300 and 600 native tree seedlings. Got a park, community center or backyard you want to beautify? Contact us! For 2017, we have cherrybark oak, cow oak, northern red oak, nuttall oak, overcup oak, sawtooth oak, shumard oak and sugarberry/hackberry.

Does it cost anything to register a team?
No, registration is free!
What kinds of places can my team clean?
You can clean a neighborhood street, park or playground in North Little Rock. Please do not enter yards, driveways or private property without the owner’s permission. Contact neighborhood associations or the city to check on an area if necessary. Do not clean state highways. Please make sure the area you choose can be cleaned safely!
What do we need to bring to the cleanup?
Gloves, trash bags, trash grabbers, rakes, and safety vests are suggested. Keep North Little Rock Beautiful can provide some of these items for use on cleanup day. We will contact team leaders with information on getting supplies.
Where should my team meet before the cleanup?
Team leaders will decide on a convenient location for their teams to meet, preferably close to the area to be cleaned.
What if it rains on the day of the cleanup?
If it rains and your team decides not to clean on that day, please coordinate a rain date that will work for your team members. If the Great North Little Rock Cleanup celebration is cancelled due to weather, we will notify team captains.
I don’t have a team. Can I still volunteer?
Yes! If you would like to help clean up, we will find a team for you to join. We also have other volunteer opportunities, such as help with serving lunch at the celebration, help with team check-in, and celebration site clean-up. There are also some pre-cleanup day preparation opportunities, such as contacting teams with important information, distributing flyers, and distributing supplies. If you would like to volunteer or find a team to join, contact us at Green@knlrb.org or call 501-350-8775.
