On Saturday the 5th we conducted our Mount Bonnell Spring Clean-up in conjunction with the Austin Parks Foundation's ninth annual It's My Parks Day, their signature event. Five society members participated along with 17 other volunteers. We were supported by APF, KAB and PARD and we managed to get a lot done despite a reduced number of volunteers due to the initially bad weather. We cleared brush on the summit, widened a trai...l to better access one of the picnic tables, spread crushed granite around the uppermost table, painted three metal sign posts and policed up litter on the summit and along the north trail.

You should know that having restored the fabulous views and policed the area, neighbors and visitors alike have expressed their appreciation of our Sociey's efforts.

There is more to get done, however--spread more crushed granite, weed the two gardens, paint the metal posts on the sign at the foot of the stairs, clear and bag more brush and pick up litter. So we are scheduling a follow-on clean-up day in conjunction with the Keep Austin Beautiful 26th Clean Sweep.

Please register on line and join us.
