Volunteer Opportunity: Mill Creek Cleanup

May 9 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Mill Creek Spring Stream Cleanup – Bellville
 
Annalee Epps, TX AgriLife Extension agent and Watershed Coordinator for Mill Creek and Geronimo/Alligator Creek, invited TMN GLC to help plan, organize, and promote a Mill Creek cleanup for Saturday, May 9th from 9a-noon in the Bellville area. For anyone up for it, we can meet up afterwards for lunch at nearby Roys Breakfast & Lunch #2.

The public is invited to join this effort. Feel free to share with friends, family, or groups like Scouting organizations or other nature-related groups. Volunteers will meet at one location near a home with a barn that offers a restroom. From there, the group will split into 3 groups that will cleanup at 3 different sites on Mill Creek.

    Time:     9:00 am – noon
    Meetup Location:     2245 FM2429, Bellville, TX 77418     (Note for some reason in map apps, a space in the road name will send you somewhere else…so either use the map link or geocoordinates or copy and paste the address exactly as written).

  • Registration Required: https://millcreek.tamu.edu/event/2026-spring-cleanup/
  • 2245 Sat, 5/9/26, 9am
  • ALL cleanup supplies are provided including:
    • Trash Bags
    • Trash Grabbers
    • Safety Vests
    • Gloves (fabric gardening gloves and non-latex gloves)…though you may wish to bring heavier duty gloves and there is no guarantee there will be enough fabric gloves for everyone)

 

Tips:

  • Wear long pants and sturdy closed toe shoes (boots are ideal) for your safety.
  • Wear a wide-brimmed hat and long sleeves for sun protection.
  • Bring water in a reusable drinking bottle.
  • Bring snacks if you wish.
  • You may also find it helpful to bring a bucket to use to collect trash as it is easier for some than keeping a plastic bag open.
