SUMMARY:Colorado River Park Wildlife Sanctuary Cleanup
DESCRIPTION:Join Austin Parks Foundation for our April Open Workday at Colorado River Park Wildlife Sanctuary! This hidden gem is just across the river from Roy G. Guerrero Colorado River Metro Park\, and has some stunning river access points and spectacular wildlife. Unfortunately\, like Roy G.’s “Secret Beach\,” this preserve struggles with big trash problems. Help us give this preserve some much-needed TLC by performing a BIG trash cleanup. \nLitter can be found in the parking lot\, along the trail\, down at the river access points\, and deeper into the preserve\, so you can clean up at your own pace and explore to your comfort level. \nThis preserve is much more “wild” than some of our other parks so please watch your step and wear closed-toed shoes and long pants covering your ankles. Please also bring your own water bottle. APF will bring all other supplies and materials. \nWe will meet at the trailhead here at 9:30AM. Parking is available in the lot under 183 off Levander Loop. \nThank you so much for giving back to our parks and green spaces! \nQuestions? Contact Robin Lee – robin.lee@austinparks.org.

SUMMARY:Water Wonks Lecture Series #5
DESCRIPTION:Join Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance for their May installment of their Water Wonks series\, which will focus on the regional flood planning process and why conserving floodplains are important. \nAnnalisa Peace (GEAA Executive Director) and Debbie Reid (GEAA Technical Director) will explain the Texas Water Development Board’s regional flood planning process\, which will allocate state funds for flood mitigation strategies and provides opportunities to employ green infrastructure and land conservation strategies. The video by David Skuodas (Director of Design\, Construction\, and Maintenance at the Mile High Flood District) presents his analysis of why governments are often playing catch-up to pay for maintenance of stormwater channels\, basins\, and other structures. In many cases\, it would take hundreds or thousands of years for a city to collect enough taxes to pay to adequately maintain drainage infrastructure from new development. Mr. Skuodas advocates for working with the existing natural stream channels\, maintaining flood resiliency and water quality\, protecting public safety\, and saving taxpayers money.
