Dirty Hands Caravan helps out at Barton Creek Greenbelt

On Thursday, May 1, 150 volunteers traveling on three bio-fueled buses as part of the Dirty Hands Caravan came to Austin and Barton Creek Greenbelt. With the tremendous support of American Youthworks E-Corps, the Parks Dept, the Austin Parks Foundation, the Greenbelt Guardians and Keep Austin Beautiful we had volunteers removing non-native trees and plants from three sites on Barton Creek – Homedale access, Gus Fruh Access and Loop 360 access and two crews walking the trail and picking up lots of trash. Here’s a photo, thanks the Dirty Hands Caravan blog
