Volunteers to restore native plant species and remove debris from Pavaho Wetlands

We invite you to experience the enthusiasm of 400 volunteers working along the Trinity River Corridor - all in one day.  Each of these volunteers will have a chance to discover the beauty of this vast natural wild space in the heart of the city.  The Trinity River Conservation Corps’ 5th Annual Corporate Day of Service kicks-off on Friday, April 27 from 8:00 a.m. until noon, with the event led by the City of Dallas and Trinity Park Conservancy.

Volunteers will also learn about the size and scope of the Trinity River Corridor including the wide-variety of grasses and pollinator plants and the wildlife thriving in this urban eco-system, one of Dallas’ unique and wonderful natural resources.
