Extreme heat intensifies in developed areas with many buildings and roads, but few trees or green spaces. In these areas, heat gets stored by unshaded concrete and asphalt, which then radiate heat back into the air. To better understand the hottest and coolest places in our city, the Little Rock Zoo is partnering with City of Little Rock in seeking volunteers to help collect environmental data. Data collected by volunteers during the one-day heat mapping campaign will be used to develop heat index maps of Little Rock and help address heat-related vulnerabilities across Central Arkansas.
