Company volunteers to green up sports field

AUSTIN, Texas – LandCare’s Austin branch had a Community Care day to start their season off right. The team partnered with their client, CCMC, to revamp four tired flower beds at Lake Travis High School. Eleven volunteers worked together on a Tuesday to beautify the beds that line the path to the school’s sports field.

Mark Hopkins, regional vice president, was there to pitch in and said, “One of our core values is, ‘Inspire others with meaningful environments.’ That doesn’t just apply to our clients. Creating beautiful environments in our community is as important to us. We were thrilled to work on Lake Travis’ grounds to improve them for the enjoyment of the students, faculty and staff.”

Usually, Community Care day take place on weekend’s so that team members’ families can volunteer. However, the work had to take place during the week before the school baseball team’s first scrimmage of the year. Most of the students’ parents were going to be in attendance. The flower beds welcomed everyone to the event.

In Texas, high school football receives a great deal of attention and most athletic funding. Other sports are often neglected. LandCare’s tangerine team helped Lake Travis’ High School make sure their baseball team’s event shone.
