Adult volunteers are needed March 9-13 to help students from area high schools as they examine and remove invasive plants and plant native plants (grass?) in Memorial Park as part of an outdoor education program under a Texas Education Agency grant to Endangered Species Media Project (ESMP). Working with ESMP and Memorial Park Conservancy, volunteers will be trained to assist students in identifying invasive plants and removing them, and will show students how to plant beneficial plants and native grass. Volunteers are also needed to assist with tools, materials and food. To be trained, a minimum two-day commitment is requested.Dates: Training – March 3, 6pm-8pm, Memorial Park Golf Course Conference Room Program – March 9-13, 9am-2pm, Memorial Park
