ANOTHER GREENBELT WORK OPPORTUNITY!
SAT., FEB. 12, 9-NOON, SPYGLASS ENTRY

Greenbelt Fans,

It might be hard to imagine now, with these icy winds blowing, but Saturday is predicted to be “clear and in the mid-60’s”. And there is an opportunity to continue the momentum in clearing dense stands of invasive Ligustrum and Nandina plants just upstream of the Spyglass Entry. Amazing progress has been made at several work days in the past few months in this area. We want to keep up the momentum right up to the March 5 moratorium date, due to the beginning of the endangered birds’ nesting season.

This Saturday, from 9 – Noon, Charlie McCabe of Austin Parks Foundation is leading a work day for invasives removal on the Spyglass Trail. For those who didn’t get enough fun in at our very productive work day on February 5, or who missed that opportunity, here’s your chance. Instructions and tools and high energy camaraderie are provided, plus immediate satisfying feedback on the results of your efforts.

Also, please put Saturday, March 5 on your calendar for Greenbelt Guardians work days at both Homedale and Gus Fruh trails, as part of the city-wide “It’s My Park Day” event organized by Austin Parks Foundation.
