Keep Port Aransas Beautiful (KPAB) has set two activities for the upcoming week and has invited the public to both.

Saturday, Jan. 12, the group will begin its Adopt A Plot project. Volunteers are asked to help from 8 a.m. until noon sprucing up the trolley turn-around area across from the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center on Ross Avenue.

Help by bringing lawn tools and adding elbow grease to make it a new birding site.

Tuesday, Jan. 15, Tony Amos will give a presentation on turtles, and trash and treasures from the beach. Amos, a research fellow at The University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute in Port Aransas who has combed the beach on Mustang Island and San Jose Island weekly for nearly three decades, will present a slideshow along with artifacts he has collected over the years.

The free presentation will be at the Civic Center, 710 W. Ave. A. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the program will begin at 7 p.m.

Board members are asked to meet at the Civic Center at 5:45 p.m. before the presentation.
