Volunteer registration is open for It’s My Park Day

If you’d like to join thousands of Austinites coming together to help improve and transform over 80 parks, trails and greenbelts throughout the city, now’s the time to volunteer for It’s My Park Day. Volunteer registration is now open for Austin Parks Foundation’s biannual citywide volunteer event, now in its 20th year. On Saturday, Nov. 4, volunteer projects will include city-approved tree mulching, root collar clearing, habitat restoration and trail maintenance at Rosewood Neighborhood Park, Ponciana Neighborhood Park, Georgian Acres Neighborhood Park and more. The event results in an average of $650,000 in volunteer labor each year, saving Austin’s underfunded Parks & Recreation Department time and money. Preregistered volunteers will get a special 20th anniversary T-shirt that provides access to discounts or freebies at giveback partner locations.
