Planned October Workday Activities
Please arrive at City Park at the upper parking
lot by the Pavilion at 8AM. Sunscreen, caps/hats, leather gloves and heavy denim clothing is recommended.
Water bottles will be available. Travis County is in Stage 4 so we have to stay in small groups,
wear face masks and other protective gear and maintain a safe distance whenever
possible.
1. Remove dead bushes on wall at Cross Creek and Lehman’s Crossing
2. Clear out dead trees from Smith Greenbelt.
3. Trim south trail in City Park down to Purple Martin houses
4. Weed, plant and mulch Barnes and Butterfly gardens in City Park
5. Clean gravel washed onto north trail in City Park
6. Trim back weeds along Challenger trail in City Park.
Lunch will be available at the Pavilion around 11:30-11:45. Judy and the food committe will be
serving brats, sauerkraut and baked bean with plenty of desserts! We will conclude our workday
by noon after the summary reports. We
will need to maintain social distancing while we eat.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
Take the time to enjoy City Park after the workday activities, enjoy the flowers, birds
and the open spaces.

Bill Freas, Dennis Gans, Pat McDermott and Mike Light took care of trimming the
Challenge Trail and the south end of the Park. Pat also cleaned up the trail where
rain run-off had left debris on the concrete and/or asphalt trails. Dennis joined
the tree trimming group later in the day.

At this workday, a large group split up into smaller groups to work in City Park.
Victoria Waite and daughters’ Preslee and Kaylee, picked up and disposed of several bags of litter.
Mike Dwinal, Shawn Waite, Jim Dunn and Bernie Reding trimmed and pruned trees mainly
in the lower picnic area and lower trail. Limbs and trimming were loaded into a
City dump truck. Then at the end of the work session, Jim took care of hauling
off and dumping the load at City Public Work at Serene Hills.

A work crew composed of Dar Moneyhon, Carl Christensen, Dave Cross and 4 LTHS band students
traveled over to the rock wall below the Lakeway
Activity Center and started cutting dead brush from the Feb winter storm. They cut about two thirds of the brush
in the morning, they filled one dumpster and there are several more large piles of brush to be hauled away.
We also had Larry Yancey and Bernie Reding helping on a non-workday to finish the job. Andra was euphoric over
the removal of Carolina Jasmine below LAC.

to making FOP known to the attendees.
