Austin Parks Foundation’s biannual It’s My Park Day will return Saturday, March 7, inviting residents to volunteer at parks, trails and greenbelts across the city.

Held each March and November for more than 20 years, the citywide event mobilizes thousands of Austinites to complete projects ranging from tree mulching and planting to invasive species removal and litter cleanup.

This spring’s efforts include trash pickup and mulching with Park Rangers at Brownie Neighborhood Park, invasive plant removal and wildflower seeding at Red Bluff Nature Preserve, restoration work at Shinoak Valley Greenbelt, and rebuilding garden beds and replacing picnic tables at Pillow Park.

Preregistered volunteers will receive an event T-shirt and sticker, which provide access to discounts and special offers from participating businesses, including Central Machine Works, Zilker Brewing and Rosen’s Bagel Co.
