Fort Smith, Ark. – Keep Fort Smith Beautiful has recently completed a project involving planting nearly 100 trees of 19 varieties along the Greg Smith River Trail in Fort Smith Riverfront.

FORT SMITH, AR – the semi-annual litter pickup, “Great Arkansas Cleanup”, hosted by Keep Fort Smith Beautiful has been canceled due to honoring the social distancing community efforts to slow down the spread of COVID-19.

FORT SMITH, – the semi-annual litter pickup, “Great Arkansas Cleanup”, will be hosted by Keep Fort Smith Beautiful at the Farmer’s Market Parking Lot in Downtown Fort Smith on Saturday April 18 from 9AM – 12PM

On April 1, in conjunction with Keep America Beautiful’s Great American Cleanup we hosted our spring citywide litter pickup. 225 volunteers from our community came out and picked up nearly 1 ton of litter from our city streets.

In March, we received a 50-50 match grant for $5000 from the Arkansas Forestry Commission. These funds are for trees in city parks and along streets. We planted 25 trees in several FS city parks, 23 along N. Greenwood Rd. and 12 at the Future School of Fort Smith (new charter school in downtown).
