Volunteers Needed for monthly hiking trails maintenance! (every first Saturday from 9am-5pm, come and go)
In what looks like a scene from Jurassic park, we have huge piles (of mulch) that are steaming due to decomposition heat rising on a cold day. So, we need you to spread that mulch soon.
Help your favorite National Monument and re-mulch our Eagle Trail! It's a half mile of scenic nature trail that needs a little TLC.
Please bring your own wheel barrows, shovels, loppers, gloves, and protective eyewear. City of Waco Parks and Rec will provide the mulch and safety vests.
Upon arrival, participants or their guardians will need to sign volunteer forms before any maintenance work begins.
Stay an hour, or stay all day! Bring a sack lunch and plenty to drink (coolers are welcome, no glass bottles please).
We appreciate your help!
