November Clean-Up with Williamson Creek Advocates Creek Adopters & South Austin Creek Alliance for Keep Austin Beautiful's Love Where You Live Day
Saturday, November 8th from 9am - 11am
Location: 5305 Meadow Creek Circle
We will be working to help clean up the section of the creek we adopted to honor the legacy and continue the stewardship of Tom Donovan. We will also be honoring the memory of Jimmy Somma who sadly passed away recently. Jimmy has selflessly volunteered at every cleanup for the last 4 years to care for his neighborhood creek. Please join us to honor these great men.
This work day will focus on trash removal from Williamson Creek. Parking is on-street, so carpooling is recommended if possible. There is Poison ivy in the area, so you may want to wear pants and bring your work gloves. Please wear closed-toe shoes. Hope to see y’all there!
