KAB Vol Op: Create a Giving TreeFlexible Calling all creative talent, or just anyone who likes having fun cutting up paper and playing with string.  Keep Austin Beautiful (KAB) has a lot of folks come through our office and we’ve also got a lot of need for things like office supplies and gardening tools, so to bring the two together we would like to have a Giving Tree to display in our office that would be decorated with tags depicting things that we could really use.  People can give to the giving tree, we’ll continue to give back to the community, and the tree grows stronger and stronger. If you’d like to adopt this project please contact Jessica@KeepAustinBeautiful.org

KAB Vol Op: Create a Giving TreeFlexible Calling all creative talent, or just anyone who likes having fun cutting up paper and playing with string.  Keep Austin Beautiful (KAB) has a lot of folks come through our office and we’ve also got a lot of need for things like office supplies and gardening tools, so to bring the two together we would like to have a Giving Tree to display in our office that would be decorated with tags depicting things that we could really use.  People can give to the giving tree, we’ll continue to give back to the community, and the tree grows stronger and stronger. If you’d like to adopt this project please contact Jessica@KeepAustinBeautiful.org

KAB Vol Op: Create a Giving TreeFlexible Calling all creative talent, or just anyone who likes having fun cutting up paper and playing with string.  Keep Austin Beautiful (KAB) has a lot of folks come through our office and we’ve also got a lot of need for things like office supplies and gardening tools, so to bring the two together we would like to have a Giving Tree to display in our office that would be decorated with tags depicting things that we could really use.  People can give to the giving tree, we’ll continue to give back to the community, and the tree grows stronger and stronger. If you’d like to adopt this project please contact Jessica@KeepAustinBeautiful.org

Vol Op: W Bouldin Creek Cleanup & Invasives Removal
Start: 8:30 am
End: 1:00 pm

A Special West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt Clean-up & Invasive Species Removal12/05/09  This very special clean up of the West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt is in accordance with the University of Texas, Lady Bird Wildflower Center Environmental Assessment Report wherein it was established that non-native species of trees and shrubs are negatively affecting the health of the greenbelt. In order to protect and conserve valuable native trees and shrubs such as elms, oaks, pecans and other valuable under story plants, the first step to remove invasive foliage removal is planned. Invasive plants crowd out the slower growing natives and rob them of valuable nutrients and water. In addition, stream bank stabilization and flood control will be aided with the removal of trash & debris along and in the creek channel. All volunteer work is being closely supervised by the City of Austin Parks & Recreation Department Forestry Division. Date: Saturday, December 5thTime:  8:30am-1pmLocation: Western side of South Sixth St. between 1210 and 1100 South Sixth St. along the parks greenbelt easement.Contact: Ingrid Weigand, BCNA Park Committee Chair, e-mail: urpprods@earthlink.net Special Note: In order to facilitate the smooth and safe removal of trash and unwanted foliage, please do not park on the west side of South Sixth Street along the greenbelt during the work session time.

Volunteers who’d like to bring their own boats may join the Sierra Club cleanup starting at the NW corner of the lake/I-35 or join KAB volunteers launching from the International Youth Hostel, 2200 South Lakeshore Blvd.   (See registration link below for more details).  On-the-Water volunteers for most of the sites should be 16 years or older (on-the-water volunteers with LCRA should be 18 or accompanied by an adult guardian).    After a semester of learning about water testing, pollution solutions, and trash students from KAB’s Green Teens program are ready to wow you with their knowledge.
