About
Capital Area and Balcones Canyonlands Master Naturalists and the Native Plant Society of Texas Austin are running a native plant rescue program!
This is a short and small rescue near 360/2222 on Saturday 12/16. To participate, register here on Give Pulse and then patiently wait (~ an hour) for the 2 required Google forms to be emailed to your email noted in your submitted registration. Upon submitting the 2 required forms (Liability Release, Participant Agreement), the exact rescue address and a rough plant list will be emailed to you.
Arrive on time. Parking is limited and requires us to meet at a parking lot on the south side of the road before carpooling in fewer vehicles to the rescue-side of the road. We will need at least 2 other people to shuttle volunteers to the rescue-side.
If you have them, bring your own hand tools like hori hori's and sharp shooters for digging out plants (we have some tools to borrow). Bring bags or a 5-gallon bucket for plants and maybe some containers for potting up plants. Plants may be dug for yourself and to donate to local preserves, pollinator gardens, and conservation partners - some species will already be marked for donation. If you are willing to transport donated plants to a preserve or garden, please let the Rescue Leader know day-of.
The site is on a busy intersection and includes the ROW and gently sloped woods that will be cleared. Small saplings, perennial flowers (and anemones), and native grasses available.
Safety
Wear long pants, close-toed shoes, and bring gloves. If you have your own high-visibility vest, please wear it (property owner request).
See you this weekend!
