Join us as we plant container grown grasses into erosion control fabric to put a stop to this erosion. We will be using two different planting techniques so we can obtain a better idea of what the best management practices are for this type of restoration. For more info go to http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/water/downloads/arroyo_restoration_june07.pdf Contact Daniel Dietz for directions and to register (daniel.di...@ci.austin.tx.us 512-263-6443). Karst inventory at Onion Creek Saturday June 2, 8:30am to 12:30 Location: central Hays County, 6 miles west of Buda With the vegetation knocked down by our recent prescribed burn, now is the perfect time to inventory caves, sinkholes, and other karst features, and you can help. These features are the conduit by which water enters the Edwards aquifer. Knowing their location will inform our land management decisions. Training will be provided.
