Landscape Maintenance at Headwaters at the Comal

BySkip Nolte

On Saturday morning, 6 May, club members and family volunteers met for a service project at the Headwaters at the Comal River facilities.   The club donated a bench that was placed along a trail and performed maintenance along the trails and other areas.  Before the work was started, members and volunteers were given a tour along the trails by the headwaters of the Comal River and then along the last section of Blieders Creek as is flows into the Comal River.

For more information about Headwater at the Comal, see the website.
