Friends of Copperfield Nature Trails

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

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.

8 volunteers spent the morning picking up litter at the Shropshire entrance to Copperfield. Some volunteers headed down to the creekbed to remove a tarp and other debris that accumulated around a fallen tree. Click here to view pictures.

Our redesigned site gives us more space to share pictures, maps, and our volunteer event calendar.
