Winedale Historical Complex (learn more here: https://www.cah.utexas.edu/museums/winedale.php ) is a beautiful historical park in Fayette County that affords several volunteer opportunities for our chapter members. These projects require all sorts of skill sets from building and maintaining paths and pollinator gardens to creating plant guides or serving as docents. Here is a list of what we are currently working on or plan to work on in the near future:
- Maintain a beautiful pollinator garden and associated plant guides in front of the visitor center
- Move the Gideon Lincecum monument close to the Theatre and establish a native plant pocket prairie near the monument
- Develop and maintain a trail from the monument to the pond and back. The trail will go around an existing pocket prairie that needs restoration
- Develop and maintain education tools such as brochures and guides, serve as docents to visitors and develop education events such as National Pollinator Day
