Cadron Creek Cleanup   Published Oct. 7, 2021.

Dome Life and Cadron Creek Outfitters will host a cleanup event on the North Fork of Cadron Creek Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

According to event organizers, more than 100 volunteers will pick up trash along the popular canoeing and fishing stream. This will benefit the creek immediately, but also will prevent trash from entering the Gulf of Mexico, which Cadron Creek feeds via the Arkansas River and Mississippi River.

The event will also focus awareness about the magnitude of trash accumulating in American waterways while demonstrating the effectiveness of public intervention.

"Healthy communities need healthy rivers, and it's thrilling to see so many people across the nation pitching in to protect their streams," said Rebecca Wodder, president of American Rivers. "We applaud the work of Dome Life and Cadron Creek Outfitters not just for speaking out for Cadron Creek, but for taking action to keep it healthy."

Supporters for the event include American Rivers, Central Arkansas Master Naturalists, Whole Hog Cafe, Papa Murphy's Pizza and Mary Parker Music.
