Plant Trees in New Park

05/03/2008

The Northfield Neighborhood Association is developing a new park in an empty city-owned lot.  The space is relatively small, right next to Waller Creek.  Volunteers envision a space where children and adults will gather to enjoy the creek and the vegetation.  Volunteers are needed to dig holes and plant 30 small native trees in the ground.  

Date:  Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Time: 10:00am-5:00pm (It’s ok to show up any time during this time frame.  Minimum one hour commitment requested)

Location: 55th and ½ St at Waller Creek, east of Guadalupe and west of Chesterfield (Central Austin- 78751)
