October marks the one-year anniversary of the Trinity River Audubon Center (TRAC), a fabulous environmental learning center in South Dallas.  To mark the event, TRAC has planned a large celebration during the second weekend in October.  To help get ready for it, Sierra Club Dallas Group is scheduling a service outing to the facility to help spiff up the grounds and make the whole place shine, in anticipation of the large turnout they are expecting for the anniversary event.  We will be clearing brush, removing any trash, and generally performing tasks that will improve the look of the trails and the waterways encompassed by the center.  No special skills or tools required.  Please contact Teresa Wilkin for further details and to get on the crew list.  Leader: Teresa Wilkin (214) 693-1503 (home).
