Need a log? You’re in luck
Tuesday, November 30, 2021 by Tai Moses
Community members seeking large reclaimed logs for art or furniture-making projects are in luck: The parks department’s Urban Forestry Unit is holding a reclaimed log pickup. It’s not a free-for-all, however; there are a few guidelines to keep in mind. Community members must load and haul their own wood, though parks staff will kindly cut logs down to size if needed. Participants must sign a liability waiver, which will be available at the site. And don’t get grabby: one log to a person. Friday, Dec. 3, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., John Treviño Jr. Metro Park, 9501 FM 969.
