Sierra Club Monthly Program: Championing Shoal Creek

Our monthly Austin Sierra Club meeting will be LIVE and online via Zoom.

LIVE: We request that persons attending be healthy and vaccinated. Come early (6 to 7pm) for drinks and dinner.

We’ll start off with Announcements on current events… Tonite’s main program is **Championing Shoal Creek **with Shoal Creek Conservancy Executive Director Ivey Kaiser.

Shoal Creek Conservancy champions Shoal Creek and the Shoal Creek Trail to create a healthy and vibrant community. SCC Executive Director Ivey Kaiser will share details of upcoming projects & events, as well as how SCC programs are guided by two community-created action plans. These plans include the Shoal Creek Trail Plan and the Shoal Creek Watershed Action Plan, which detail how to create increased trail accessibility, safety and connectivity in Austin, and greater biodiversity, healthier riparian habitats and fishable, swimmable waters in Shoal Creek. https://shoalcreekconservancy.org/
