Alien Extermination at Blunn Creek Nature Preserve Cache In Trash Out Event

The Blunn Creek Partnership is working on ecological restoration of the 38-acre Blunn Creek Nature Preserve. Volunteers are welcome to join one of the monthly workdays on the 1st Saturday of every month. Workdays will consist of cutting ligustrum and stacking it in a brush pile for chipping. This is not a walk in the park to do a trash pickup.

When:

Saturday, December 2, 2017

8:30 - noon

Volunteers are asked to meet promptly at 8:30, as the work location will be a short hike up the trail.

Volunteers are not required to stay the entire time

Where:

Blunn Creek Nature Preserve

1200 St Edwards St

Austin, TX 78704

Parking is available along St Edwards Street.

What:

Tasks could include pulling up invasive seedlings or cutting down standing trees.  When we have an area cleared of invasives, the next task is raking wildflower seeds into the soil.

This is not a trash pickup

Wear closed-toe shoes, long pants, and long sleeves.  Bring a water bottle and gloves.

Notice for Inclement Weather

I don't control the weather.   Any changes to the event due to weather will be posted as an announcement, so If you are planning on attending, please post a Will Attend so that you will receive any announcements.   This will also help to provide some semblance of a count to the coordinator.

If the weather is questionable for that Saturday morning, hopefully I will be able to get the notification soon enough and post an announcement to the web page.   If there is significant rain earlier in the week, and the trails are muddy, the event may be canceled even if the Saturday weather is nice.

Depending upon the timeframe for the announcement, this event may be canceled, or changed.
