Greenbelt Fans-

We’ve got another work day coming up on Saturday, June 1, from 9:00 – 1:00 . We plan to work at the Homedale Trail, 2010 Homedale Drive. We’ve got some trailside maintenance work to do, plus trash to pick up in and around the creek beds. We will also be stabilizing the arroyo walls beneath the wood bridge with mortared rock, to prevent further erosion caused during heavy rain events.

We hope a number of you can join us for a Maria’s Tacos breakfast and companionable and constructive activities to improve our greenbelt. There will be other groups working up and down the greenbelt in celebration of National Trails Day. After the work day, a work celebration picnic event is scheduled at Zilker Park, sponsored by the Hill Country Conservancy.

Please RSVP here, and also go to the Austin Parks Foundation website to formally register, so we can make sure there are plenty of supplies for the celebration afterward, and also officially document the good that citizens provide to our parks.

Looking forward to working with you,
