While not an everyday experience, these trips allow for the ultimate healing, giving you the chance to

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. Wild Dirt Elmwood Cleanup - Event Details  📍 Tyler Station; Backside at Polk and Elmwood Blvd.  📆 Saturday, October 25th  🕘 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM We’ll be tackling litter along the trails, pulling junk from the creek banks, restocking dog stations, and restoring the natural flow of the Elmwood and Rugged Branch rivers — one glove-full at a time. Why It Matters This isn’t just about making the park “look better.” It’s about the ripple effect. Trash in Elmwood doesn’t stay in Elmwood. It flows into the Rugged Branch and the Elmwood Branch and make their way into the Cedar Creek that runds through the Dallas Zoo and into the Trinity River. When we particpate in the Wild Dirt Elmwood Cleanup a mile of park and river here, we’re protecting birds, fish, and wildlife across the entire watershed. We’re also making this space safer and more welcoming for kids, dog walkers, and everyone else. What to Expect We’ll have complimentary coffee and cleanup tools . You’ll be assigned a route, whether that’s trail cleanup, creek edge collection, or focusing on the park , and head out with your crew. Join us for the Wild Dirt Elmwood Cleanup!
