A HUGE thanks to the students and volunteers from College Forward for volunteering with us for the Martin Luther King Project Day of Service! The volunteers removed 2 trucks loads of litter and 3 flatbed trailer loads of underbrush.

Congratulations to Trudy and the Copperfield Neighborhood Organization for winning 3rd place in the City of Austin Wildlife Habitat Challenge!

Come see the design of our Copperfield Greenbelt Park!

Certify your yard as a Wildlife Habitat!!

Thank You volunteers!  59 volunteers turned out to make great improvements to the Copperfield Nature Trails!  Volunteers removed invasive ligustrum and Johnson grass and replanted native flowers and shrubs, cleared and widened the Woodlands trail, and created a switch-back up the steep slope at the Byers exits. Another group of volunteers collected litter and weeded the wildflower area at the Blakeney entrance.

We thank the volunteers from Omega Chi Epsilon and Tau Beta Pi at UT for joining Copperfield neighbors during our Fall litter collection. We removed approximately 75 bags and litter and other debris from the greenbelt and Walnut Creek tributaries.  Click link below to view the workday pictures.  Use your browser's BACK button to return to this screen.

The greenbelt contains several detention ponds that part of the City of Austin Regional Storm Water Management program. City of Austin Watershed Protection and Development Review has created Residential Pond Inspection Reports for these dams and detention ponds.  See attachments.
