Discovery Park - Hummingbirds, Weeding, and Mulching …04/04/2026

Activities

We'll be removing strangling grass and weeds and mulching amongst the bees and hummingbirds. Last weekend we did remove most of the scotch broom so we've had to change the description of the workday!

Adults only

9 out of 15 participants registered.

What to Bring

Protect your feet and ankles - wear socks. Wear ankle high work boots -not tennis shoes! Wear long, durable pants-If you have rain pants, wear them since it’s easy to get muddy. Do not wear shorts! A water-resistant coat and lots of layers are also helpful. The terrain is rough and uneven. If you have a favorite hand trowel, clippers, or pair of gloves, please bring them. We are unable to provide food or water, so please bring them to the site.

Where to Meet

We meet at the Capehart sign next to Magnolia Boulevard. Please hike to the site and meet at the entrance to Capehart Forest, which is on Discovery Park Blvd. See attached graphic as to where this is: Area 40. Capehart Forest is the most wildlife-diverse area in Discovery Park. Come help us promote forest health and increase its biodiversity by weeding out invasive plants, mulching and aerating the soil to encourage symbiotic fungi, and plant this year's native shrubs and perennials.

Where to Park

East (Visitor Center), north (near Daybreak Star Center) or south parking lots. From there the site is about a 15 minute walk. The North parking lot is the closest. If you have an ADA placard, you may park on Texas Way (at the intersection with Discovery Park Boulevard).
