For Austin Parks Foundation's It's My Park Day Fall this year 55 Austin adult and youth volunteers participated in East Austin's historical Parque Zaragoza Neighborhood Park's All Things Trees project.
Volunteers helped mulch the park's heritage and newly planted trees and picked up trash throughout the entire park. Additionally, we welcomed our park's 60+ newly planted baby trees of 30 varying species by creating tree identification signs for the new Zaragoza Diversity Grove. A special thanks to all, Austin Parks Foundation for making these events possible and Keep Austin Beautiful for donating the mulch.
