Day in the Dirt
Bring your team together and promote volunteerism and environmental stewardship within your organization with Day in the Dirt.Â
Day in the Dirt is a highly customized volunteer day for your organization facilitated by a Trail Conservancy staff member. our trained field staff will supervise and help your team, providing all tools and equipment needed, and coordinating with City entities- such as the Austin Parks and Recreation Department and Watershed Protection Department- for volunteer activities.
Funds raised from these impactful events go toward expenses for this program- such as tools, materials, and staff time- and to support The Trail Conservancy’s mission to protect, enhance, and connect the Trail.Â
Day in the Dirt activities include, but are not limited to:
Building Gardens
Installing Native Plants & Sapling Trees
Spreading Native Wildflower Seed
Removing Invasive Plants
Spreading Mulch & Compost
A nominal fee- covering expenses for tools, materials, and staff time- is required. Cost varies based on the group size, the volunteer day length, and the day of the week.
Day in the Dirt events take place on Thursday or Friday mornings from 9AM-12PM and typically last 3 hours, ensuring a quality project is completed for the Trail. A Day in the Dirt event must be scheduled at least three weeks prior to the preferred event date.
