Ragweed Removal Thursday in Live Oak Meadow

  • Live Oak Meadow 2208 Parkway Austin, TX, 78703 United States (map)

Join us in Live Oak Meadow* as we remove ragweed before it goes to seed and overtakes areas of the park.

Ragweed is a native but aggressive species found all over Central Texas. It grows and spreads quickly, taking up huge swaths of parkland and preventing other more desirable plants, such as pollinators and trees, from taking root. 

Please bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and wear comfortable weather-appropriate shoes and clothing that you do not mind getting dirty. We will provide all necessary materials, but you are welcome to bring your own gloves.

We highly encourage alternative modes of transportation, but if you do drive, please feel free to park in the small parking lot or use available street parking. Once you arrive, please meet our team at the small parking lot.

*Please note that the location of this opportunity has changed from Gaston Green to Live Oak Meadow as of 3:00pm Wednesday, October 4th. Thank you for your understanding as we shift our focus to this much-needed work area.
