Arkansas Conservation Corps X Hot Springs National Park

Last week, we had the privilege of establishing a crew at the oldest federally protected area in the United States.

Hot Springs National Park is our sole National Park within our great state, and we are thrilled to collaborate with the National Park Service to continue protecting and conserving this precious resource!

Did you know that the water from the springs in Hot Springs originates from a depth of 8,000 feet and undergoes a remarkable journey that spans nearly 4,000 years?

If you haven’t visited Hot Springs National Park yet, take a trip there to learn about the unique qualities of its land and water.
