What a line-up! And what a project! A consortium of agencies, schools and corporations are working together to create the Wooten Park Nature Play Area. The project is funded by Austin City Limits Music Festival Grant Fund and Texas Action for Healthy Kids with many, many donations of time and service.

Butterfly and wildlife habitat, trails, gardens and natural areas will join Wooten Park's playground area to provide outdoor classrooms for Wooten Elementary School. The nature play area will provide improved physical activity for students and give the community a 'mini-nature preserve' for use after school and on weekends.

We need YOUR help to make this project successful! For additional information contact: Michelle Smith at michellesmith@mac.com.
