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.
Thanks, Erik Harris
