Judd Foundation invites volunteers to its second Arroyo Session at La Mansana de Chinati/The Block.
Volunteers will participate in hands-on riparian restoration of neighboring Mimm’s Creek, including planting of native grasses, shrubs, and trees. Boots and protective clothing recommended.
Coffee and breakfast will be provided to volunteers before and during the restoration.
Arroyo Sessions are presented in partnership with Agave Festival Marfa.
Judd Foundation Land Stewardship initiatives focus on the removal of invasive species and replanting of native grasses and plants. These include several restoration projects in progress at Casa Perez, Casa Morales, and Las Casas, the three ranch houses which comprise Ayala de Chinati.
Through the meadow restoration project at the Cobb House and Whyte Building and the Winter Garden at the Block, the Foundation has begun restoring sites in downtown Marfa. The Agave Garden, also located in downtown Marfa, features more than twenty plants native to the Trans-Pecos region is a public space maintained by the Foundation.
