~PLUM CREEK WATERSHED CLEAN-UP~
February 26, 2011
9:30am - 12noon
Steeplechase Park, located between Lehman Rd and Goforth Rd,
has nearly half a mile of Plum Creek running through it.
Each rain storm creates a large amount of trash and driftwood in
and around the creek.
Lake Kyle and the 118 acres around it catch all the trash and debris washing in from points west and south of the lake, including the interstate highway and points south of Center Street in downtown Kyle.
Once a year the City of Kyle' Parks and Recreation Department organizes a "Plum Creek Watershed Clean Up & Park Improvement Project". This event includes projects such as picking trash out of the creek, removing dead trees, painting,
planting trees & bushes, trail building and general cleaning.
This event is co-sponsored by the State of Texas's "Keep Texas Beautiful" program.
This event is a perfect opportunity for the civic organizations in the area to do community service projects that help the environment.
This event is open to Scout Troops, Church Groups, Home Owners Associations, School Groups and Clubs, Environmental Organizations, Sports Teams and Clubs and any one willing to help.
Volunteer registration will begin at
9:30am, Saturday, February 26, 2011.
All major equipment and materials will be provided. All we need is you.
