Shoal Creek Conservancy Champions of the 13-square-mile Shoal Creek Watershed and the creek and trail running through it. Shoal Creek is in the heart of Austin, Texas.

In 1839, it was the city’s original western boundary but today it is an artery into its urban core. In recent years, conditions in and around the watercourse have declined and in 2013 the Shoal Creek Conservancy was formed to help rejuvenate Shoal Creek for the enjoyment of all Austinites – present and future. Our four areas of focus include:

• Trail: Improving the Shoal Creek Trail
• Water: Improving water quality and mitigating flood risk
• Parks: Enhancing habitat and green spaces
• History: Preserving Shoal Creek’s historical significance

Shoal Creek has always been integral to the city’s vitality; restoring and protecting it make Austin a more vibrant place to live, work and recreate. Learn more about our ambitious 1- and 5-year goals and how you can join our community of people helping make Austin a better place. Twitter:

A huge thank you to our volunteers who helped us continue a new project in Seiders Springs park yesterday! We are establishing a new planting site for tree saplings later this Fall. Volunteers helped prep the soil with mulch, to make it easier for the new trees to get in the ground!
Afterwards, volunteers helped remove some invasive trees with a w**d wrench and w**ded the new wildflower meadow!

If you'd like to join us for a future workday, register on our events page at shoalcreekconservancy.org today!
