Workday Information

Workdays will be held a few times a month at Zilker Preserve on Saturday mornings from 8:30-11:00 AM. A typical workday consists of removing various invasive species, including Nandina, Japanese Privet, and Chinaberry among other species. Once the species are removed using the respective removal methods, the City of Austin will help with planting native species to restore Zilker to its natural state.

For upcoming workdays, please click on the calendar tab.  If you would like to attend a workday, please RSVP to getinvolved@ecotx.org so that EcoTexas can update you about special circumstances.
