SoPac Trail Clean Up
Saturday, May 11th, 2024, 8:30am at SoPac Trail
Our clean up team picks up litter on the SoPac Trail adjacent to our neighborhood on the second Saturday of each month, starting at 8:30am. Our clean up site begins under the Mockingbird Bridge continuing to the Trestle Bridge near White Rock Park. The clean up takes about an hour.   
 
Singles, couples and families are welcome. Kids love using the grabbers and take pride in picking up litter. Teens may earn community service hours and may flex their hours.  If you are interested in joining our team or need more information please email Chairperson Pat Watson, Neighbors@LakewoodTrails.net or call her at 214 531 1299.
Blackland Prairie Upkeep
Saturday, May 11th, 2024, 8:30am to 10:30am at Blackland Prairie area adjacent to Lakewood Park along Williamson Rd
Join us to help maintain the Blackland Prairie Remnant we adopted in 2017 by planting new seeds and removing weeds and invasive plants. Lakewood Trails volunteers will join TCA volunteers in continuing to remove the invasive species from the prairie. We will have extra tools and gloves and water available.
 
Exotic plants can escape from yards into the wild, disrupting natural communities and ecological processes. Invasive species often outcompete native plants by overgrowing spaces and decreasing biodiversity. They serve little use for native wildlife because they have not coevolved together. We need your help at Lakewood Park to remove invasive plants from one of Dallas' few remaining prairies. You'll help restore this prairie toward ecological health and rewild it to benefit bees, butterflies, bats, beetles, birds, and other pollinators. Please join us!
