Volunteer Day at Apple Orchard Detention Pond in Springdale

  • Apple Orchard Detention Pond 1637 Apple Butter Street Springdale, AR, 72764 United States (map)

On Friday April 11th, IRWP and volunteers will be doing some spring maintenance on a recently naturalized detention pond in Springdale.

This rain garden was installed last fall, so it’s first year of maintenance will be light! We will weed out any undesirable plants and add more mulch to help the plants retain moisture. Attendees are welcome to bring their own equipment -loppers, clippers, gloves, shears- or to use our provided tools. There will be water available throughout the work session to keep everyone hydrated.

Why Volunteer?

  • Learn about green infrastructure and its role in sustainable stormwater management.

  • Help restore and protect the local watershed, benefiting the entire community.

  • Enjoy a hands-on opportunity to learn about native plant species that support biodiversity.

  • Meet other passionate individuals who care about environmental conservation.
