Walnut Creek Cleanup April 4, 2025, 11 AM – 1 PM

Posted on March 20, 2025 by Erik Harris

Hi all, we are in need of a few volunteers to cleanup the greenbelt in 2 areas – just west of Mopac along the Northern Walnut Creek Trail and east of Mopac along the creek.  We made a good start on the first area during Its My Park Day, but there are a couple of pockets we missed.  Here’s the signup link if you’re interested. https://givepul.se/oylhrr
Thanks, Erik Harris
