Our thanks to ClifBar and REI along with Keep Austin Beautiful for helping us host the ClifBar Greenotes Barton Creek Greenbelt clean-up. 95 volunteers turned out to the Zilker Park Polo Fields Picnic Area to sign-in, grab trash bags and then clean-up portions of the Barton Creek greenbelt from a number of trailheads including Zilker, Spyglass, Loop 360, and Twin Falls/Gaines Creek. Over 80 bags of trash, 1 tire, quite a few hubcabs, several signs on poles and two shopping carts were included in the haul. Then folks enjoyed an hour long concert by Ben Kweller. Thanks to all who made this possible especially Beth from REI and Chris from Music Matters.
Love this – sounds like a really cool event to combine volunteering and a music concert (with a great artist).
