Earlier this month, D Magazine held a symposium to talk about re-wilding the Trinity River floodplain and why the latest fantasy “plan” for the river (drawn by Van Valkenburgh) shouldn’t lead us to throw away the actual plan that the Army Corps has already approved (the Balanced Vision Plan). Several people at the conclusion of that symposium asked what they could do. How could they make a difference now?

Here’s one very direct, very hands-on way to help with the Trinity: the Trinity River Conservation Corps’ Corporate Day of Service, which this year falls on April 7. Educate yourself about the issues. Vote in the City Council elections on May 6. Yes, all of that. But you can also pick up trash. More details below. You can sign up here.
