The Kyle Parks and Recreation Department is seeking volunteers for what it is calling a “Texas Arbor Day Parkland Tree Planting” event at five locations between 10 a.m. and noon Saturday, Nov. 6.
Volunteers are supposed to gather at 9 a.m. at Waterleaf Park, 600 Abundance Lane, where they will be dispatched to either Gregg-Clarke Park, 1100 Center St.; Lake Kyle Park, 700 Lehman Road; Steeplechase Park, 295 Hallie Drive; or Plum Creek Trail between Lake Kyle Park and Waterleaf Park. Some of the volunteers will remain to plant trees at Waterleaf Park. Volunteers will be provided lunch and drinks, the city said.
“The goal of the event is to expand on the current natural beauty throughout the City of Kyle by adding native trees to Kyle’s parklands,” Kyle Trails Division Crew Member Stacy Anderson said. “The work our volunteers will be doing is not only to enhance city green spaces but also cultivate them to give back to the community.”
Anyone interested in participating may volunteer here.
The Parks and Recreation Department is also looking for additional donations for native and fruit trees. All donations are tax deductible and sponsors will receive recognition on the event day signage and community postings, the city said. Persons interested in tree donations can contact Anderson at sanderson@CityofKyle.com. for additional information.
