Would you like to help out with Event preparation or help out on the day of the event? We could use help in the following areas. Please contact erik.harris.atx at gmail.com if you are interested. We will provide training and materials!
-We need to make seed balls in advance of the event – simply mix wildflower seeds with soil and water – its a fun activity for kids. Seed provided by Austin Parks foundation.
-Assist volunteers on tree mulching and/or invasive species removal practices.
-Lead trash collection teams to targeted clean up areas.
