It’s My Park Day 3/6/2010 Last year, 2,500 volunteers attended more than 60 projects at parks all over town. Projects, led by neighborhood groups, individuals, and organizations, ranged from simple pruning and painting to highly technical drainage control improvements. Some groups attracted additional volunteers by including live music, an educational component, a picnic, or other activities. It’s My Park Day has three major purposes:

  • To get much needed park work done
  • To expand the volunteer base for future projects at your park and others
  • To grow park leaders by providing an accessible way to get started

Lead a Project: All It’s My Park Day projects are led by volunteers.  Guidance, volunteer recruitment, tools, and tee shirts will be provided. You provide the enthusiasm and ideas. Date and Time: All day on Sat, March 6th Location: Parks throughout Austin Contact:  You’ll find all the volunteer information at: http://connect.austinparks.org/site/GetTogether?gettogether=activity_splash&cal_activity_id=1020

Mary Moore Searight Park Off-Leash Nature Trail Project3/6/10Austin Parks Foundation has provided a grant for ecological restoration in the north end of Mary Moore Searight Park.  This project will include tree installation, and seeding of native grasses and wildflowers in the open areas.  Many decaying ash junipers have already been removed and mulched by a forestry mower.  Volunteers will be needed to transplant seedlings of tree species from the adjacent forest that are not available from local nurseries.  A very exciting addition to the project will be the installation of a solar powered irrigation system to get the new trees established.  Date:  Saturday, March 6, 2010Time:  9am-12pmLocation: 907 Slaughter Ln., 78748. Enter the trail from 1st street, just south of Slaughter Lane, on the right side of the street, where the trees begin.  You can Google the location using 10000 South 1st Street, Austin, TX 78748.  It should show a spot on the Northeast side of Mary Moore Searight Park.Contact: Please RSVP to Claire Sorenson, csorenson1@austin.rr.com or on the Facebook site listed below http://sites.google.com/site/slaughtercreektrails/HomeBecome a member, sign up for events, even RSVP at our Facebook site: http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#/group.php?gid=176873979247
