Travis County Parks Foundation

This May, Park Stewards got hands on at Hamilton Pool Preserve and Southeast Metropolitan Park! 🌺🪏

At Hamilton Pool, led the session on pollinator gardens, plant identification, and native plants that help pollinators thrive. Stewards also got to take home plants of their own!!

At Southeast Metro, guided stewards through planting a new tree in the park’s orchard while learning proper tree planting techniques. The group then moved into lessons on mulching and pruning trees around the park.

Want to get involved? The next Park Stewards cohort begins this fall. Sign ups for emails relating to the next cohort will come out soon!

Shoutout to our Night Sky Program Director, Amy Jackson, for her work on The Stars at Night, now streaming for free on PBS!

The film explores our connection to the night sky and what’s at risk as light pollution grows. It also highlights why protecting darker skies matters, something we continue to support in our Travis County parks.✨🌌
