ACAN holds Commons Ford Park cleanup and flower seeds planting event

By Noah Liu, April 15, 2018

Two dozen ACAN members helped pick up trash and plant wildflowers today at Commons Ford Municipal Park. Most of the volunteers were children. Together, our volunteers managed to pick up 3 bags of trash and 1 bag of recyclables and planted an entire bucket of seeds.

The seed balls are made of soil and a native wildflower seed mix, with added clay to keep it together. Our volunteers threw balls of this mixture into an empty field along the side of the road in the park. Children and adults had lots of fun today helping the community and are all excited to come back to witness the beautiful patches of wildflowers blooming!

    ACAN families enjoyed camping workshop at Inks Lake State Park

    [Noah Liu] Austin Chinese-American Network partnered with Texas Outdoor Family, a program under Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to host a private camping workshop for members on 9/7-8 at Inks Lake State Park. Our 18 participating families learned important camping and outdoor skills such as setting up a campsite, building a fire, and cooking outdoors. Participants also had the chance to go kayaking, hiking, fishing, stargazing and geocaching within the park. Our families all enjoyed the event greatly, especially the children! We hope that we can organize a similar event sometime in the future.
