Join us at Spring Creek Park Preserve for a hands-on native plant restoration workday. Volunteers will help re-establish native plants that were carefully dug and relocated from Halff Park last fall and have been overwintering in the City of Garland greenhouse.
This is a great opportunity for high school students and new-class Master Naturalists to gain field experience, with the initial sign-up shared through a private link. If space remains, registration will open to the general public.
