Public hunting land is a shared resource — and it takes work to keep it healthy. The Public Timber Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that rallies volunteers to protect and improve public-land duck hunting and habitat across Arkansas.
What they do
From boat-ramp and timber cleanups to habitat restoration and litter removal, the group organizes hands-on volunteer events on public and partner-managed lands — often alongside state and federal agencies. It's conservation you can show up for on a Saturday morning.
How to get involved
Upcoming events are posted online, and volunteers can RSVP and sign the volunteer waiver electronically — once a year, not every single event. Whether you're a lifelong waterfowler or just want to give back to the outdoors, there's a spot for you.
