Members of the local American Veterans (AMVETS) Post 104 visited the Discovery Center on Jan. 18 to award a check of $500 to support work on the Sessom Creek Natural Area Restoration project. AMVETS is known for their generosity in helping organizations in San Marcos that improve the lives of its citizens.
“Organizations in San Marcos provide services that help veterans and all of our families,” says Commander Emeritus Dr. Mario Garza. “We all benefit from efforts to keep our San Marcos River clean and protect our endangered species.”
The Sessom Creek Natural Area Restoration began leading volunteer workdays in October 2016 and has accomplished a considerable amount of progress since then. Tasks include removing non-native invasive species, constructing contour terracing, broadcasting native seed and removing trash.
