What a concept to bring to our City

Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, are demonstrating to the world there is a better way. These cities, and others across the United States, are designing and building Green Streets which trap stormwater runoff and capture pollutants. Green Streets can be more cost efficient in managing urban stormwater runoff than the usual “gray” infrastructure of concrete gutters and storm drains

On May 9th from 5-9pm, a great exhibit about the Fourche Creek Bottoms will be unveiled!

Unearthed: rediscovering the Fourche Bottoms is an exhibition of work created by 3rd and 4th year landscape architecture students at the University of Arkansas.

The work addresses the potential of the Fourche Bottoms as a resource for the city of Little Rock. One of the largest urban wetlands in the country, the Fourche Bottoms serves as a drainage basin for over 90% of Little Rock and provides a wealth of ecosystem services such as reduced flooding, improved air quality, and important habitat for fish and wildlife. This exhibition showcases a range of projects that represent ongoing research and an expanded vision for community access, recreational opportunities, improved water quality and habitat, and increased public awareness and enjoyment of the Fourche Bottoms.
