Bird Walk with Travis Audubon
2025-01-24 07:30 - 10:00 (America/Chicago) | Holly Shores Park, 2 Robert T Martinez Jr St, Austin, TX, 78702, United States
Join Rachel Zierzow and TTC staff, Jonatan Salinas, to find birds and observe their behavior on the new section of the Butler Trail, the Holly Trailhead, historically part of the decommissioned Holly Power Plant at Festival Beach. Recently planted native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and natural spring water dominate the landscape and provide excellent habitats for many different species of birds. As TTC restores this new section of the trail, we will see a change of birds, so you’ll want to come on this monthly walk.
This bird walk is ideal for beginners, but all levels are welcome. We have binoculars to lend to anyone that doesn’t have a pair. Our walk will total 1-2 miles in about 3 hours, making our way through the Holly Trail and adjacent to Lady Bird Lake to listen to and look for resident birds, migrants, and flyovers. The terrain is mostly flat (dissolved gravel trail and sidewalks) and there is ADA accessibility at the Holly Trail Overlook. In winter, we will stop at the Holly Trail overlook section of the trail a bit to watch the waterfowl.
Registration is required and is limited to 10 participants. A reminder email with pertinent details will be sent before the field trip. Register HERE!

Travis County Parks Comprehensive Plan Public Workshop

Travis County Parks is conducting public engagement to inform our 2026 Travis County Comprehensive Parks Plan. Join us for our first round of public workshops on Jan. 29th or Jan. 30th.
Travis County is an ecologically and socially diverse community that is rapidly growing. Travis County Parks include spaces as diverse as Pace Bend, Reimer’s Ranch, and Southeast Metro Park, as well as iconic destinations like Hamilton Pool, Hippie Hollow, and Richard Moya Park. The creation of a County Comprehensive Parks Plan will allow the community to determine the priorities and desires in protecting and improving these increasingly important green spaces.
Travis County will collaborate across departments and with multiple partners to gather public feedback and create the new Comprehensive Parks Plan. Relevant Organizations, including the Travis County Parks Foundation and area recreation experts, will guide and advise the process. The National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program (RTCA) will help with meeting facilitation, public engagement, and planning. Mend Collaborative will develop the comprehensive plan based on expert and public feedback.
In order to accurately reflect the public’s opinions and desires for the future of Travis County’s parks, we plan to work closely with area stakeholders, residents, and local government and non-profit organizations over the next several months. Through surveys, participatory mapping, and public workshops, citizens will have an opportunity to provide detailed input regarding the parks, including their appearance, amenities, and programming. This input will be used to develop and refine the Comprehensive Parks Plan.

Recess for Revolution is a free monthly community gathering that focuses on being civically engaged, participating in mutual aid, and gaining skills for resisting systems of oppression. At its core, these gatherings are about coalition building— where no single organization is the face. As we experience intensified political instability and catastrophic climate disasters, it’s vital that we build spaces for people (who are discovering their role in activism) to feel empowered to take action. In the words of Kelley Hayes, “Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care.”

2025-02-04 11:30 - 13:30 | Austin Marriott Downtown, 304 East Cesar Chavez Street, Austin, TX, 78701, United States
The reconstruction of I-35 through central Austin presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconnect our community with 30 acres of land—caps and stitches—above the highway.

After years of advocacy for funding, policies, and public support, we are nearing a pivotal moment: transitioning from vision to reality.
Join us for a dynamic conversation with industry experts who will share their insights and lessons learned—good, bad, and ugly—from implementing successful cap and stitch projects in their cities. Together, we’ll explore what it takes to turn bold ideas into thriving community assets.
You can order your ticket here.
