Keeping DeGray Lake Beautiful

Pick it up, Pack it up, Please don’t trash it up!

Wal-Mart has generously awarded the Good Works Grant to Keeping DeGray Lake Beautiful for their efforts in promoting environmental stewardship programs and projects for the past two years

Wal-Mart Giving Back!

 

Promoting Environmental Stewardship

Walmart has continued to provide food and volunteers to our shoreline cleanup.  During 2009 Walmart brought 70+ volunteers to the cleanup; What an accomplishment! These volunteers came from several Wal-Mart stores to aid in giving back a day to ensure our environment here at DeGray Lake stays beautiful for generations to come.  During 2010 Walmart provided all the food and cooking for 472 volunteers during our cleanup. 

Each year the Corps of Engineers in partnership with the Arkansas Game & Fish offers a fishing derby for handicap individuals.  For the past two years the derby has been held at the Lakeview pond .  Access to the pond has been difficult but has been our best option to date and for those individuals in wheelchairs time with the fishing pole was limited so that all would have a chance to fish from the small deck.

With the funding provided from the Good Works Grant from Wal-Mart a new deck has been built to allow more individuals to fish along the ponds edge.
