The month of June offers us the opportunity to celebrate, pause and reflect. For students it is a chance to contemplate the successes of the school year. For several communities it is a time to honor change and champion continued progress.
As we enter the summer season Pease Park Conservancy continues to praise the shade trees offer us among their many other benefits. After last week’s storms, Pease Park has lost much-needed shade, but the Conservancy’s Park Operations Team has been working diligently to collect debris and assess damaged structures.
Their hard work coupled with support from volunteers and community members help Pease Park Conservancy respond to weather events quickly and on a regular basis.
We invite you to join our upcoming volunteer days to help with our efforts in conservation and community building.
If you are able, you can can help PPC with a donation. Any amount helps us steward Austin’s first and oldest green space. We accept donations via Venmo (@peasepark) or through the donation page on our website.
