Greenbelt Guardian Workday: Saturday, July 7, 9:00-Noon, Gus Fruh Entry

On June 25, 2007, in Greenbelt Guardians, by Glenn

Hello Greenbelt Fans,

The season has turned again, which means it is time for another work day in service of our adopted greenbelt trails. This is our summer season work day, which tests our mettle and qualifies us as “true Texans” at the day’s end! The built-in enticement is that the creek is running, and we will be working in the wonderfully shaded trails of Gus Fruh, which are abundant with healthy growth from these recent rains.

We have tasks for: trail repair and edging work, drainage improvements, invasive plant removal, rabbit trail closures, and trash removal. Please come join us for a hearty taco start-up and convivial work with colleagues who share an appreciation of this wonderful place. Please RSVP so we can properly plan for the food, drink, and tool support. We look forward to working with you again.

For those volunteers who live in the Barton Hills neighborhood, we hope you will attend the Barton Hills Neighborhood Association meeting this Tuesday evening, the 28th, at 7:00 pm. We will be presenting our proposals for funding important work on our adopted greenbelt, with funds that the neighborhood received from the Stones Concert. The membership will have a chance to vote on projects for the greenbelt and/or projects for the school park at a special called meeting in August, date to be announced.

Thank you for your support, and we hope to see lots of you soon.
