SUMMARY:Tree ID for Seed Savers at Circle Acres
DESCRIPTION:This is not a volunteer opportunity; it is an educational event. \nHave you been wondering what kind of tree is growing in your yard? Maybe you want to learn a fun new skill? Well\, you’re in luck\, because the Central Texas Seed Savers and TreeFolks are coming to Circle Acres to lead a Tree ID lesson to help you learn a little more about what’s growing around you! \nYou will learn how to identify native trees and how to safely and ethically collect seeds to donate to the TreeFolks Seeds To Trees Native Nursery. \nSpecial thanks to Ecology Action for hosting this event at its Circle Acres Nature Preserve. Parking info is available on their website. \nThe Central Texas Seed Savers is a growing network of people who love seeds with the mission of preventing the extinction of ecologically and culinarily important plants in the Central Texas Region. \nTreeFolks was founded as Austin’s Urban Forestry non-profit in 1989. Since then\, TreeFolks has grown to work with communities throughout Central Texas in community tree planting\, tree giveaways\, education\, and urban-wildland reforestation efforts. Our mission is to empower Central Texans to build stronger communities through planting and caring for trees.

SUMMARY:Circle Acres Tour with STAR Central Texas
DESCRIPTION:From the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR) –\nJoin the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling Central Texas group for a tour of Ecology Action’s Circle Acres. Circle Acres is located on roughly 9.7 acres in the Montopolis neighborhood of southeast Austin. As a former landfill and brownfield\, the site has suffered through a pattern of destructive uses but nonetheless bears a striking range of forest wetland\, and grassland environments within an overwhelmingly urban context. \nWe will take a tour of Circle Acres and learn about Ecology Action (9:00 am-10:30 pm) followed by a  membership meeting (10:30 am-12:00 pm) at Sawyer’s & Co at 4827 E Cesar Chavez. During the tour we will learn about the history of the site and transforming an old landfill\, the history of Ecology Action\, the organization’s new focus areas in the post-drop-off-center world\, and what we can expect in the future at Circle Acres. \nVisitors can park on Kemp and should not attempt to drive on to the site. There’s a big concrete EA next to the driveway\, walk down the hill and keep left. There will be someone waiting for you at the entrance and a sign.

SUMMARY:Circle Acres Preserve Tree ID walk with TreeFolks and Ecology Action
DESCRIPTION:From TreeFolks –\nTreeFolks will be teaming up with fellow non-profit Ecology Action to lead a tree ID walk at Circle Acres Nature Preserve\, a hidden central east Austin gem that was once a landfill. \nThis event is free\, but space is limited\, so please register to attend at www.treefolks.org/tree-id. \nTreeFolks tree identification workshops\, walks\, and hikes aim to teach you how to identify the trees that you see around you every day. In our tree identification activities\, we’ll discuss trees common to central Texas\, species diversity\, wildlife habitat\, and tree anatomy. No two tree ID workshops are alike and no matter how much you already know about trees\, you’re sure to learn something new each time! \nFor more information\, contact audrey@treefolks.org.

SUMMARY:Volunteer Mornings at Circle Acres
DESCRIPTION:From Ecology Action –\nCircle Acres  is a 10 acre nature preserve and green infrastructure demonstration site. Ecology Action is working to clean and protect the land here\, which has suffered decades of destructive uses as a quarry\, landfill and illegal dumping site – but is now becoming a beautiful natural resource for the surrounding Montopolis neighborhood\, and all of Austin! \nVolunteer days involve maintaining walking trails\, removing litter\, and making green infrastructure improvements to storm-water access points like culverts and tributary breaches. \nBring water and dress for the weather with sturdy\, closed-toe shoes. We recommend lightweight but long sleeve and pants for the summer. \nEntrances to Circle Acres are located off of Grove Boulevard (just before the entrance to Roy G. Guerrero Park) & 420 Kemp Street (look for the concrete letters leaning against the fence). Please park in the parking lot at Roy G. or on Kemp Street.
