Tools available include lawnmowers, hand tools, shovels, trimmers, garden rakes, and more. This unique project aims to foster community collaboration, benefit residents who lack access to essential equipment, and contribute to the cleanliness and beauty of the city. The Community Tool Shed is set to be a life-changer for Mission residents. By providing easy access to these tools, the program empowers individuals who may not have their own equipment to tackle home improvement and maintenance projects effectively. The Community Tool Shed will be located outside the Speer Memorial Library. Borrowing tools from the shed will be as effortless as checking out a book from the library. Individuals must live inside the Mission city limits, provide an ID, and sign the waiver of liability form to be eligible to borrow equipment. Residents will have the flexibility to borrow the equipment for up to two days. The Tool Shed is located at 801 E. 12th St. more about the distribution of the organisms and plants upon which pollinators depend, helping TPWD manage their habitats and populations for future generations. Plant and insect species may be difficult to identify, so observers can use the “What did you see?” function within the app to see science-based suggestions. In addition to the monarch butterfly, TPWD has designated 30 species of pollinators as “Species of Greatest Conservation Need.” Native butterflies, bees, moths, bats, hummingbirds, wasps, flies, and beetles are essential to healthy ecosystems and sustain native plant species, human food crops, and crops for livestock. Visit the Texas Pollinator BioBlitz website to learn more about the importance of pollinators, sign up to receive pollinator information during the event, and find other happenings across the state.
