Join our Shore Corps for a Town Lake Clean
June Workshops on Outdoor Safety & Navigation
Good morning, friends! We love giving back to our NeighborWoods and we love Town Lake! We’re hosting a big shore clean on Saturday, June 7, 8:30am. Meet us at Buzz Mill for a complimentary coffee and then we’ll head down to attack the trash from the shore and from the water with a dozen canoes at our disposal! First-come first-serve on the canoes so show up early! Afterward we’ll treat our awesome volunteers to a snack from JNL BBQ and another free drink!
We’ve got two excellent workshops in June led by our own Camp Master Chris Hyde! On Thursday, June 12, we have a Bears and Outdoor Hazards workshop and on Thursday, June 26, we’ll hold a Natural Navigation class! Both 7pm at Buzz Mill Coffee.
Buzz Mill Shore Corps Town Lake Clean
The Buzz Mill Shore Corps along with Squatch Frontier Fitness, the Texas River School, and the Lumber Society are hosting a big Town Lake Shore Clean on Saturday, June 7, from 8:30 to 11:30am! We’ll be attacking the trash from the shore and from the water with a dozen canoes at our disposal! We’ll meet at Buzz Mill Coffee at 8:30am. Afterward we’ll head back to Buzz Mill and JNL Barbecue for a snack and a drink on us!
We’ll have 2-person canoes available for use to get on the water and grab all the trash that can’t be reached from the shore. This is the work that most needs to be done, and it can be fun doing it. Our canoe spots will be filled first-come first-serve, so show up early!
We will provide tools and gloves (bring your own if you'd like) but bring a water bottle and wear work-appropriate clothing: long pants, long-sleeved shirt, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, bug spray. Questions: email mark@buzzmillcoffee.com. Thanks!
Date: Sat., June 7, 8:30-11:30am (don’t be late)
Location: Buzz Mill Coffee, 1505 Town Creek Drive

Bears & Outdoor Hazards Workshop
Join us as we explore wilderness hazards and dangers that you could face when traveling in the backcountry. And Bears! The outdoors can be a dangerous place at any time of year, but more often it's our own perception of these potential threats that make them more dangerous than they really are. Through understanding comes knowing and through knowing comes confidence.
Join us for another exciting class hosted by outdoor educator and wilderness guide Chris Hyde as we explore the most basic of wilderness hazards and dangers that you could face when traveling in the backcountry. Like Bears!
Free drink token and Lumber Society Bears & Outdoor Hazards badge with each paid admission! Arrive early! Bring pen and pad to take notes. Questions: email mark@buzzmillcoffee.com.
Date: Thursday, June 12, 7pm
Location: Buzz Mill Coffee, 1505 Town Creek Dr.

Natural Navigation Workshop
Join our Navigation Workshop and learn about the most common practices for staying the course with helpful tricks and tips from Chris Hyde! Forgot your map, lost your compass, or batteries dying on your GPS or phone, can you still find north? Can you get home? Navigate your way naturally? Because of the inventions above, the art and skill of navigating naturally has been all but forgotten. During this class we will discuss how to estimate time, determine direction, distance, and navigate from point to point over long distances. This is a wonderful introduction class to the world of the naturalist & survivalist and these simple navigation methods will forever stay with you as you adventure into the wilderness.
