Community Volunteer Event – Barton Creek 360 Trail Access

Howdy! Put on your shoes and grab your water bottle as you head out the door to join Austin Parks Foundation at Barton Creek 360 Trail Access for our community volunteer event!

Project Goals: Volunteers will focus on ecological restoration needs to help maintain one our city’s most popular greenspaces. We will work at the 360 trailhead to remove invasive species that outcompete and deter the growth of native plants.

• Volunteer activities: Invasive species removal and native vegetation seeding.

Where to park: Please feel free to park at the Barton Creek 360 Trail Access Parking lot. There is also paid parking available along the fence line of the Trail Access. Please carpool if possible to provide as much parking as possible for others.

Where we will begin: We will meet at the trailhead HERE. This is the location address: 3755-B S Capital of Texas Hwy, Austin, TX 78746

Accessibility: Please note that our activity for the day will involve walking on uneven terrain and depending on the weather slightly damp/muddy paths.

What to bring: Closed-toe shoes, a FULL water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, bug spray and comfortable outdoor clothing (preferably long pants and sleeves for protection). We will provide all tools and gloves – if you have your own gardening or work gloves you are welcome to bring them.

A NOTE ON SAFETY: We encourage you to “See and Be Seen!” Be mindful of your fellow volunteers and maintain awareness of your surroundings at all times. Dial 911 in case of emergency.

In the event of dangerous inclement weather such as lightning, hail, or strong winds/ rain, APF staff will direct volunteers to vacate the site immediately.
