After a several month hiatus on workdays due to intense internal restructuring, the EcoTexas volunteers are back out in full force in Central Texas parks and preserves as we have now designated Tuesday and Friday mornings for workdays every week throughout the Summer. Specifically, EcoTexas has been targeting bamboo and nandina at Bright Leaf Preserve, chopping them down all along the fringes of the preserve to prevent them from making any further progress inward.

Despite the sometimes stifling heat and humidity of the Austin Summer, our dedicated core of volunteers has remained resolute to the EcoTexas cause of eradicating invasive species from Bright Leaf Preserve and other Central Texas parks. Since the beginning of June, EcoTexas has been holding several workdays per week.

Eco Texas is working to eliminate invasive species from environmentally sensitive areas by executing a coordinated effort with local park officials to monitor the threat of invasive species, and to take action to remove invasive plants when they pose a substantial threat. Jordan Sessler, the organization's Founder says that these frequent workdays are 'an important tool in fighting the threat of invasive species' and urges all 'who value Texas's unique ecosystems to join the effort.'
