Keep Arkansas Beautiful sees another successful year
LITTLE ROCK, La. (KNOE) – Arkansas saw another year of commitment to the beauty and protection of the state as every county registered cleanups during Keep Arkansas Beautiful Commission’s cleanup challenge in 2023.
The Great Arkansas Cleanup Challenge had thousands of Arkansans volunteer to clean up litter in every county between Sept. 1, 2023, through Oct. 31, 2023. According to KAB, 120 tons of litter was removed from Arkansas roads, waterways, and acres of parks and public areas.
“The success of the 2023 Great Arkansas Cleanup is a testament to the pride and dedication of volunteers across our state,” said Robyn Taylor, volunteer program manager at KAB. “These results display what collective responsibility can accomplish and should inspire us all to foster a continued sense of ownership in preserving the beauty of Arkansas.”
Along with picking up litter, volunteers also planted 426 tress and 142 plants, shrubs. flowers and bulbs.
“We’re immensely proud of the incredible dedication shown by Arkansans during this year’s Great Arkansas Cleanup,” said Colbie Jones, director of KAB. “This year’s results underscore the passion and commitment of our communities toward preserving the natural beauty of our state. The collaborative effort and enthusiasm displayed by volunteers reflect our shared commitment to a cleaner, more beautiful Arkansas.”
KAB says they encourage Arkansans to continue working toward a more beautiful Arkansas in 2024. To learn more about the organization and its upcoming cleanup initiatives, visit keeparkansasbeautiful.com.

It’s win or go home for half of the Women’s College World Series field on Friday, May 29.
In the nightcap of the WCWS elimination games is No. 8 UCLA vs. No. 5 Arkansas, two teams that suffered come-from-behind wins on May 28 by Alabama and Nebraska, respectively. The Bruins couldn’t take advantage of back-to-back home runs against Jocelyn Briski in the third, eventually falling 6-3 to the top-seeded Crimson Tide.

The Razorbacks’ loss was arguably more painful (or, at least, took longer). Arkansas twice led against Nebraska and USA Softball Player of the Year Jordy Frahm, but was unable to maintain either lead before Ava Kuszak walked the Razorbacks off in the bottom of the 10th inning in the 5-3 defeat.
Now the Bruins and Razorbacks both must gear up for a second game in as many days, with their WCWS hopes on the line. Here’s how to watch as UCLA takes on Arkansas in a pivotal win-or-go-home game:
