Mary Moore Searight Park Off-Leash Nature Trail Project9/4/10Austin 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, September 4, 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

Planting Butterfly Garden at Ricky Guerrero 09/25/2010   At two Acres, Ricky Guerrero Park has a couple main developments, a Splash Pad and playground.  Both developments are on the south end of the park, leaving the north end with less park usage and traffic.  Mainspring School’s Parent Advisory Council (PAC) proposes to develop the north end of the park by adding a butterfly garden, benches and art installation.  In accomplishing this goal, PAC has organized around neighborhood commitment and involvement; which will positively increase usage of the north end of the park.     Date: Saturday, September 25th Time:  9:00 am - 12:00 pm Location:  Ricky Guerrero Park, 2006 S. 6th St. 78704 Parking:  Parking is south of park Contact:  nadine@mainspringschools.org or 512-442-2301

Armadillo Park will become a woodland park designed for pedestrians, bikers, and neighbors. Volunteers are digging up Chinaberry, Nandina, and Ligustrum Trees and Sunflowers, and they need help moving and ranking piles of mulch around the trees on site. Shovels, heavy rakes, picks, and work gloves are our primary tools.   Drinking water, insect repellant and long pants/ shirts are recommended.

Mary Moore Searight Park Off-Leash Nature Trail Project10/2/10Austin 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, October 2, 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
