As well as doing invasives removal work\, we will also be doing data collection and documentation for these restoration areas.There&rsquo\;s also more old ranch barbed wire to remove. And there is always the ample supply of beer cans and snack wraps and cigarette butts to remove. Sweat equity will have a whole new meaning at the end of the morning (they say it&rsquo\;s good for us)!Please RSVP so organizers have plenty of energy food\, plus some special surprises being provided by the Austin Parks Foundation. \;Date\: July 19th \; Time\: \; 8\:00am-noonLocation\: \; Homedale Trail Entrance\, 2010 Homedale Drive (Central Austin &ndash\; 78704)Contact\: \; gleeful@earthlink.net \;
