July 16 @ 8:00 am – 11:00 am
Join us at the Phil Hardberger Urban Ecology Center as we kick off a new volunteer partnership project with San Antonio Parks and Recreation (SAPAR)!
Because our NPSOT chapter meetings and NLCP classes use the Phil Hardberger Urban Ecology Center, we’re giving back through volunteer service hours while helping build a sustainable partnership with SAPAR at Phil Hardberger Park.
Our focus for this project will be flagging invasive grasses including Kleberg Bluestem, King Ranch Bluestem, and Johnson Grass so SAPAR crews can easily identify and remove them down to the roots this fall. Volunteers may also help remove seedheads and grasses when possible.
What to bring:
Gloves
Clippers (if you have them)
Sun protection
Bug spray
Clothing suitable for working in tall prairie grass
We will provide:
Flagging supplies
Trash bags
Shifts will start at 8 am and go to no later than 11 am.
Current workdates for this project: July 7, 8, 9, 13 14, 16 20, 21, 25, and 28th.
Important:
A valid SAPAR waiver is required.
