Howdy! Put on your shoes and grab your water bottle as you head out the door to join&nbsp;<a href="https://austinparks.org/" target="_blank">Austin Parks Foundation</a> for a great opportunity to aid with invasive removal and trail restoration at our 7-part series: Fall Forest Stewardship at Kendra Page Neighborhood Park.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our event series this Fall at Kendra Page Neighborhood Park. Our aim is to reduce the count invasive species present, reintroduce a native understory seed bank through seed collection and seed dispersal and reduce fire risk by helping break down/remove fallen brush. This will be an educational, fun and rewarding opportunity to attend and participate in.&nbsp;
