The Austin Parks Foundation’s 20th edition of It’s My Park Day is this Saturday, Nov. 4.

The bi-annual initiative gathers volunteers to help beautify, restore, and clean up Austin’s green spaces. This includes mulching Patterson Park’s heritage oak trees , top-secret litter clean-ups at Roy G. Guerrero Metro Park, removing invasive plants from Seiders Springs Park , and many more.

There’s still time to volunteer for many of the projects. Every volunteer will receive a free T-shirt, which will act as a (same-day only) coupon for free goodies:

One free small shake from any Austin-area P-Terry’s Burger Stand
One free Parks & Rec beer from Zilker Brewing Taproom, 1701 E. 6th St.
Buy one, get one free beer from Big Country Taproom, 2400 Patterson Industrial Dr.

Most events take place from 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
