Details

Join us at BGTU's Embrace A Stream Outdoor Classroom along West Hickman Creek in Veterans Park on Saturday, April 25, 2026. We're seeking volunteers to help remove invasive plants, and install native plants.  We will also conduct a general clean-up of the area, re-position fallen branches and leaves into our bug-friendly habitat areas, and restore the wooden benches.

This is an opportunity for anyone interested in volunteering and preserving our local environment. Whether you're a chapter member or someone wanting to learn more about Trout Unlimited, we welcome your help! This event is free and open to the public, all are welcome!

BGTU will provide yard waste bags and a small quantity of gloves and hand tools.  Please bring your own gloves, shovels, rakes, glasses, and blowers if possible.  We recommend wearing appropriate footwear for walking in dense vegetation or in the creek if desired.

We look forward to seeing you at the creek!
