Celebrate Earth Day The Trail Way
Join us on Friday, April 24, 2026. for our fifth annual community-wide Earth Day Clean Up and fundraiser on the Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail and Lady Bird Lake! Volunteers will have the option to launch from one of three locations: Rowing Dock (West end), Epic SUP (East end), and on the Butler Trail at Auditorium Shores. From there, you’ll select whether you would like to pick up trash by boat or by walking the Trail. This event is free for all community volunteers, with advance registration required.Â
A small participation fee of $15/person is required for corporate teams. All funds raised from this event will go to The Trail Conservancy, to help further our mission to protect, enhance, and connect the Ann & Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail for the benefit of all.
Corporate Group Participation: $15/Person
To ensure all community members are able to participate in Earth Day, all corporate/company groups are asked to pay a $15/attendee participation fee to The Trail Conservancy. Payment will be taken at registration. Reservations for this event are non-refundable. Headcount decreases cannot be made after your reservation is booked. Please double-check your desired participant count before booking.
