The Reserve is open dawn to dusk free of charge seven days a week.

Visitors are asked to please stay on the trails to avoid trampling the wildflowers and to minimize the risk of chiggers and ticks.

The trails can be entered from behind the HPER Center or next to the sand volleyball courts.

The play is a hilarious and touching look at the relationships formed, and the lives touched, by two old friends as they contemplate going out in a blaze of glory.

91³Ô¹ÏÍø Bear Boots On The Ground was brought back in order to participate in this relief effort.

Volunteers met in front of 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Reynolds Performance Hall at 5:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 18, and worked the entire day until 4:00 pm. The volunteers did not return to 91³Ô¹ÏÍø until 8:00 p.m.

President Davis allowed 91³Ô¹ÏÍø employees to attend without having to take a vacation day. He stated, “I appreciate anyone that is willing to represent 91³Ô¹ÏÍø and participate.”

“I realize it will be a long day. You will be tired and your body will ache, but on the 2 1/2 hour drive back you will have a smile on your face,” said Gary Roberts, while recruiting volunteers. “When was the last time you smiled for 2 1/2 hours? Please sign up today. Your Arkansas family needs you.”

During the second day of volunteering, there were 13 91³Ô¹ÏÍø volunteers – 10 Bear Boots On The Ground participants plus 3 from 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Baptist Collegiate Ministry – who worked on four houses in Pocahontas. 91³Ô¹ÏÍø President Houston Davis joined in on the efforts as well!

Altogether, 20 91³Ô¹ÏÍø volunteers worked 2 full days (May 18 & 25) donating 235 hours of service. They worked on six houses removing drywall, insulation, kitchen cabinets, plumbing, flooring, and cleaning debris. 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Bear Boots On The Ground had a large impact on many families in the Pocahontas area.

91³Ô¹ÏÍø extends a huge “thank you” to the following Bear Boots participants – President Houston Davis, Richard Hammond, Riva Brown, William Baker, Tchetahan Natogoma Silue, Malika Sylla, Zoheb Yunus, Sandy Ahne, Jennifer Boudreaux; and these individuals who worked two days – Misty Booth, Dylan Britto, Charlotte Strickland and Gary Roberts. 91³Ô¹ÏÍø also thanks the three volunteers from Baptist Collegiate Ministry.
