Friends of Markham Hill Podcast

Listen to stories about historic Markham Hill in the middle of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Markham Hill contains 300 acres of intact, urban forest and some natural areas, several Pratt family-built structures, at least two Native American sites, and has a history of cultural importance to the area, including a boys & girls camp from the 1920s-1940s, hippies and students living in the abandoned camp cabins from the 1950s-2000s, 40+ years of University of Arkansas runners on the trails, wildlife studies, horseback riding. However, developers have bought almost half of the mountain so far and plan to deforest and develop it. Friends of Markham Hill is a grass roots effort to save Markham Hill from development. But we need help spreading the word and using public pressure to save this land. This podcast contains at least 80 'Weekly Markham Hill Moments of History' that were initially posted on Facebook and sent to the Fayetteville City Council. So far, the developers and Big Money are winning. They have started deforesting. Please share this podcast and help spread the word. Thank you so much. Let's save Markham Hill!
