Blair Woods Storm Damage | Events / Outreach New | Master Birders | Sanctuary Work
Description

8:30 AM – 10:30 AM

As many of you know, Blair Woods was severely impacted by the May 29th storm. Restoring the property will take hundreds of volunteer hours.  We are incredibly grateful for anyone wishing to help out through gifts or service!

We are currently requesting volunteer help, but for the safety of all,  require that all volunteers adhere to the following conditions:

  • All volunteers must sign-up using this form, and complete the waiver attached to each volunteer opportunity.
  • Volunteers may not go off trail or past any area with caution tape
  • Volunteers must not enter the sanctuary without a staff member present, and must exit immediately after the end of the workday
     

 

Blair Woods, Travis Audubon’s 10-acre urban sanctuary, needs your help. Your restoration efforts will make a tremendous difference in creating a biodiverse landscape.

Our trails and native plants are essential for educating students and visitors about Central Texas wildlife and conservation. Join us to keep Blair Woods wild and beautiful!

All equipment and training provided.
Wear closed-toe shoes and clothing to protect from insects and the elements. Hats, sunblock, and bug spray are your friends!
Please bring a water bottle to keep hydrated while volunteering.
