Saturday's Event POSTPONED

Austin's National Public Land Day activities have been postponed.

The official Austin workday celebrating National Public Land Day, has been postponed to Saturday, October 6^th due to the high probability of rain this weekend.  The clean-up of the North Star Creek (at Parkfield) will now be held on Saturday, October 6^th from 9a-12 noon.

The Watershed Protection Department and a core team of GWNA volunteers will go ahead and work this Saturday, September 28^th on planting the 100 native saplings that were purchased for our riparian restoration project.  If you want to brave the weather, please join us at 9:00 a.m. at the Parkfield entrance of the North Star Creek.

Make plans to bring your family, kids and friends out on Oct. 6^th to complete the weeding and clean-up of the North Star Creek.
