Arkansas Forests &
Drinking Water Collaborative
September Highlight:
We have the rare opportunity to share and celebrate the DE-listing of an impaired waterway in Arkansas, the West Fork of the White River. Yes, for all of us skeptics out here, this is actually possible in our ever-growing landscape. This is also showcased on EPA's success stories page. Please watch this video to learn more about how 20 years of conservation work has transformed a watershed right here in our backyard.
Have you seen the Arkansas Story Map?
Thanks to U.S. Forest Service’s Southern Research Station.
Sixty-one percent (61%) of all Arkansans drink water that originates in forested watersheds. Maintaining healthy forests is the best protection that we can provide for our water.
The next steering committee meeting is May 6th, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Please click below to learn more.
