Join Wild Dirt for a Fall Cleanup at Elmwood Parkway & River: A Chance to Connect with Nature and Give Back to Our Community

There’s something healing about a morning in the trees.

The sound of a creek trickling through the underbrush. That moment you spot a turtle slipping into the water. The satisfaction of pulling a crumpled soda can from the roots of a pecan tree and tossing it in a bucket like you’re cleaning out the arteries of the neighborhood.

This fall, Wild Dirt is teaming up with the Volunteer Elmwood Neighborhood Association to bring the community together for something meaningful and straightforward: a local Wild Dirt Elmwood Cleanup of the Elmwood Parkway and the Rugged and Elmwood river branches that run through it. These aren’t just creeks and a greenbelt, they’re the threads that tie our ecosystem together, connecting backyards, the Dallas Zoo, and the Trinity River.
