5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Bleiblerville Volunteer Fire Department
3342 FM 2502 RD. Bellville, Tx 77418

If you live in or around the Mill Creek Watershed, we want to hear your thoughts on future priorities for our watershed program! A project update will be provided over dinner, then we will make time for discussing and answering important questions about what the project should focus on next. For this meeting to be effective, we need engaged participants who can bring their experience and expertise to the table. We would be honored if you were able to make the time to attend.

A free dinner will be served, and there will be a short time for networking before we begin the program. We do request that you RSVP by April 18 so we can finalize any catering details. You can RSVP by emailing annalee.epps@ag.tamu.edu or by calling 979-321-5921.

Mill Creek Watershed Fall Cleanup
Oct 21, 2023  |  9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Bleiblerville VFD, 3342 FM 2502 Rd, Bellville

Do you live in the Mill Creek Watershed? Join us on Saturday, October 21, for our Fall cleanup! Because the land in our watershed is mostly privately owned, our cleanup looks a little different. If you would like to participate, you register here, pick up a packet of cleanup supplies, then collect litter from your own property. Then, on Saturday, you bring any waste you collected and we will have a free dumpster to dispose of the trash. We can accept common litter and large waste. No hazardous materials will be collected. More details can be found on this page: https://millcreek.tamu.edu/mill-creek-fall-cleanup-2023/
