The '''William E. "Bill" Clark Presidential Park Wetlands''' involves a wetlands restoration effort on 13 acres of land near the [[Clinton Presidential Library]] on the [[Arkansas River]]. The restoration is sponsored by The Conservation Fund, The Nature Conservancy and the [[William J. Clinton Foundation]] as well as [[Audubon Arkansas]], the [[Arkansas Game and Fish Commission]], the [[Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission]], the [[U.S. Army Corps of Engineers]], the University of Arkansas [[Clinton School of Public Service]], the [[City Parks Conservancy]], and the [[City of Little Rock]].

[[William E. "Bill" Clark]] was founder of contractor and commercial construction company [[CDI]]. CDI is builder of both the Clinton Library and the [[Heifer International]] headquarters. Clark is described as an avid outdoorsman who "spent many sunrises and sunsets overlooking the Arkansas River and wetlands, enjoying nature."

The wetland area was first proposed as an "urban fishing ground" in plans by the [[Polshek Partnership]], architects of the Clinton Library.
