I have two April events to add to your calendars:
1) Funky Chicken Coop Tour, April 23
If you’ve ever thought about getting some chickens for your backyard, this event is a good opportunity to learn about what’s involved. From their website:

Come join us for the third annual Austin Texas Funky Chicken Coop Tour! Have you been thinking about keeping urban chickens? Do you need coop design ideas? Then this is the tour for you! Hey, this is even for those of you that already have backyard chickens and are thinking about changing your coop design(there’s always room for improvement, right?). Also, feel free to come peck(oops, meant pick our brains on raising chickens.

2) Keep Austin Beautiful Clean Sweep,  April 9th

The year is the 26th annual clean up of the city held by Keep Austin Beautiful:

Clean Sweep is KAB’s annual citywide cleanup that takes place all over Austin.  The first 4,000 volunteers to register get a free event t-shirt and it’s followed by an awesome Volunteer Party and Environmental Fair at Waterloo Park which includes: free lunch, live music, kid’s environmental activities, recycled art, door prizes and more!  Last year more than 4,300 volunteers registered to cleanup 129 sites!
