Log in, log out

PARD’s Urban Forestry Unit is holding a reclaimed log pickup for community members who need a large log to use in a furniture or garden project, artwork or one of the myriad other uses one might have for a big, heavy, long piece of wood. Aside from the desire to own a log, there are a few guidelines for the event, as follows: You are responsible for loading up and hauling your own log (though parks staff will cut the log down to size if needed); you must sign a liability waiver before picking up your log; and each participant is entitled to one log and one log only. Friday, Feb. 3, 9 a.m.-2 p.m., John Treviño Jr. Metro Park, 9501 FM 969.
