The Pease Park Conservancy has been hard at work on several conservation initiatives “that will leave a lasting impact on the treasured greenspace, and exemplify the conservancy’s dedication to community and the environment,” according to a news release. Among the projects conservancy staffers and volunteers have completed at Pease Park over the past six months are the restoration of a native wildflower meadow at Lamar Terrace (pictured) and the construction of a new greenhouse in Kingsbury Commons to propagate native plantings. The conservancy also planted 50 young trees – courtesy of an APACHE Corporation Tree Grant – in Live Oak Meadow to replace trees that had succumbed to drought. If you haven’t been to Pease Park lately, this might be a good time to plan a visit to the sprawling, 84-acre public green space, which was Austin’s first public park.
