Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970. Each year, the world celebrates Earth Day on, or near April 22.
Your Kyle Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting an Earth Day event at Lake Kyle Park and Preserve (700 Lehman Road) on April 20, 2013 from 9am to noon. During this year’s Earth Day event will be a landscaping bonanza to help beautify Lake Kyle. We are currently accepting tree donations as well as monetary donations to help buy trees, bushes, plants and flowers as well as other landscaping necessities. Here is a list of preferred trees, bushes and shrubs: Oak (Burr, Chinquapin, Lacey, Southern Live or Escarpment Live, Monterey, Shumard, Texas Red), Texas Ash, Mexican Sycamore and Mexican Buckeye, Crape Myrtle, Desert Willow, Kindeywood, Texas Mountain Laurel, and Texas Redbud.
We would also like to invite the community to come out and help. We always need volunteers and would love to see you all come out and help. With recent rains and flooding, we have also accumulated a bit of trash and debris in and around Lake Kyle. We will be using this Earth Day event to do a bit of cleaning as well.
So come out on April 20 and join us while we decrease our carbon footprint.
