Winter isn’t dreadful, but instead the season to slow down and be intentional.
We see plants lose their leaves and many animals enter various states of dormancy to get through the colder season. In our case, the cold and shortened daylight can alter our mood and leave us feeling drained. We’re here to remind you that there are things that you can do at Pease Park to get through Winter.
Life Kit’s How to actually look forward to winter episode shares that an evening walk in the cold, or an outdoor picnic with warm food and drink, can help us “take back the winter”. Many studies show that spending time outdoors, touching soil, or even being around trees can improve our mental and physical well-being. What better way to brighten the winter blues than by volunteering with Pease Park Conservancy!
Layer up and join us for a volunteer and/or program event at Austin’s first and oldest park! Read on for news from the 84-acres, as well as other ways to get involved with Pease Park.

WAYS TO HELP PEASE PARK CONSERVANCY

Just like acorns, gifts come in all sizes—but every single one carries the promise and strength of an oak. During this season of gratitude and giving, you can support Pease Park Conservancy by:
