At UTSA, we clean Maverick Creek beginning at 1604 down to UTSA Blvd. Registration sign in begins at 7:30 at the Mesquite Living Lab in Lot Resident Lot 5. If you are searching on Google, look for Resident Lot 4. (Google has it mis-labeled) Clean up starts at 8am. All volunteers should be off the creek no later than noon.
