A greener way of living is taking flight in south San Antonio
Patsy Inglet, who came to volunteer with Bexar Audubon Society, said"I got here this morning early, at six o'clock, and they weren't giving out trees until nine and people were already lined up and they brought chairs. They brought breakfast. They were here to help us help the habitat of San Antonio."
"I have spoken to so many people who have lost trees over the last couple of years to extreme urban heat island. Just climate change. It's been very hot and stressful for trees so our call to action is 'let's plant more trees." "These are what they say are going to grow and that's what I want! I want a beautiful yard of plants that are natural to here and they're going to survive," Darrow said.
CEO Tom Corser said his group is excited about the huge potential the nearly 200-acre site represents. This week the San Antonio River Authority hosted the first ever volunteer work day at a brand new 300-acre park on the San Antonio River south of Loop 410 off Blue Wing Road. is a delight. Board member Patsy Inglet said,"I'll tell you, everybody in the world who is a birder knows about it.
