Get Outside Campaign!

Get Back to Nature

Audubon Dallas, In Partnership with Harmony Nature School, Cedar Ridge Preserve and Park in the Woods Recreation Center

Present: Spring 2012

Get Back to Nature

A Get Outside Campaign to promote activities at these great Outdoor Locations. Recreation opportunities include Hiking Trails, Native Wildlife and Habitat Viewing, Picnic Areas and Guided Tours.

Pack Up and Move Out this Spring 2012! The following schedule is available:

Opportunity: Volunteer, 3-6 people needed

Spring Break: March 12-16, 2012

Park in the Woods Recreation Center, http://www.pitw.org/

6801 Mountain Creek Pkwy. Dallas, TX 75249

Come and visit with students in the outdoors. A new perennial garden at the Recreation Center will need some spring tending and long walks at the Cedar Ridge Trails are just next door. Plan to lead a group of young people into the wilderness. Little experience is needed as the CRP trails are circular. You can only get lost if you want to. Also, plan to picnic in the butterfly garden. Access to the CRP natural history collection will be provided.

Opportunity: Volunteer

Third Saturday of Every Month

Cedar Ridge Preserve, http://www.audubondallas.org/cedarridge.html

7171 Mountain Creek Parkway, Dallas, Texas 75249

Come with your family and friends to enjoy a workday at the Preserve. Early birds might experience a Bobcat on the trail and maybe a donut and coffee. Audubon Dallas and the Cedar Ridge Preserve Management team hope you can take part in general upkeep activities. Also, come and check out our trail improvements funded with a grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife. Work supplies are provided and you can donate by purchasing T-shirts, bandanas and membership to the Friends of Cedar Ridge Preserve.

Opportunity: Volunteer

Thursdays during School Session, 3-4:30pm, and other times as needed

Harmony School of Nature & Athletics , http://hsnature.org/

8120 W Camp Wisdom Rd, Dallas, TX

Harmony Nature School has terraced their garden to maximize land that might not otherwise be available for growing food. Come and visit the Garden Club and work on the Spring Garden. You will likely get plenty of exercise in this activity but you will feel great to eat the fruits of your labor! Harmony also is in the process of building up their trail and natural areas, come see how you can help.
