Feeling crafty? Pick up a log
Tuesday, February 1, 2022 by Tai Moses
The parks department’s Urban Forestry Unit is holding a reclaimed log pickup for those interested in using reclaimed wood in their art, furniture or garden projects, or anything else one might commonly use a large log for (battering ram, anyone?). You must load and haul your own wood at this event, though parks staff will cut your log down to size if necessary. Only one log per person and participants must sign a liability waiver, available on-site. Friday, Feb. 4, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., John Treviño Jr. Metro Park, 9501 FM 969.
