Waller Creek Cleanup


Hey Austinites!

The annual Waller Creek Cleanup is happening April 5th from 9-11 a.m. Join in for a morning event of removing trash from Waller creek and restoring its beautiful natural flowing water and habitat. Free breakfast will be provided for all your hard work!

Waller Creek runs through UT Campus and is significant for many reasons.
Waller creek runs from North Austin through campus and into Lady Bird Lake downtown. That means, uh yeah, all the trash, cigarette butts and soda cans really screw up our natural water oasis.
Many types of animals rely on the habitat Waller Creek provides as well. The urban watershed known as Waller Creek is home to the Great Blue Heron and the Roseate Skimmer Dragonfly. If your home was a dump you'd probably give it a good cleaning. Let's help all those little creatures and critters that can't help themselves...like the beautiful butterfly above!

Pre-registration is mandatory and you must be 18 or older to register.
