SUMMARY:Habitat Workday @ EIH
DESCRIPTION:Habitat volunteers help weed and mulch flower beds\, plant native plants\, maintain pathways\, and trim trees and bushes. Volunteers may also help clean out the pond on select work days. \n\n\n\n\nNo experience necessary—we’ll show you what goes and what stays\n\n\n\nBring your own tools or use ours (we have gloves too)\n\n\n\nDon’t forget to bring a reusable water bottle\, hat\, and sunscreen!\n\n\n\n\nVolunteers must be 18 or older to participate in EIH’s workdays unless prior arrangements have been made. \n\n\n\nWe do not hold workdays when the university is officially closed. Also\, workdays are canceled during inclement weather\, though a light sprinkle or drizzle rarely keeps us out of the garden. If you’re not sure\, please call 281-283-3950 or 281-283-3045\, and we’ll let you know if we’re digging in. \n\n\n\nLocationEnvironmental Institute of Houston (Click link for Google Map)University of Houston-Clear LakeNorth Office Annex (NOA) 1 Building2700 Bay Area Blvd.Houston\, TX 77058

SUMMARY:Container Gardening with Keystone Plants presented by Krista De Cooke\, Homegrown National Park - May 21
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Krista De Cooke will explore container gardening as a potent strategy to combat biodiversity loss. Attendees will learn how to cultivate keystone plants tailored to their growing conditions and suitable for small spaces\, using ecoregions as a guide for plant selection. Krista will showcase plant species that will be suitable for level II ecoregions across the United States and Canada\, highlighting their potential to support native biodiversity and serve as crucial refueling stops for pollinators. She will also emphasize the concept of Keystone Plants\, species that form the backbone of local ecosystems by providing essential insect food. By incorporating these keystone plants\, attendees will be able to actively contribute to the restoration of native biodiversity and address the urgent issue of ecosystem collapse. Joining this presentation will allow participants to make a meaningful impact on biodiversity regeneration\, one container at a time. \n\n\n\nThis presentation is part of the Monarch Conservation Webinar Series by Monarch Joint Venture.

SUMMARY:Native Riparian Vegetation Beneficial for Holding Together Creeks and Rivers in Texas - May 21 Austin Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Ricky Linex at Chandor Nature Trail\, April 2023\n\n\n\nOur guest speaker this month is Ricky Linex. His presentation is a virtual creek walk across Texas identifying riparian plants found in different regions of the state.  Native plants in riparian areas across the state of Texas will be shown and discussed.  Plants are what hold the creeks and rivers together and we need to manage these plants to improve riparian health and survival.  \n\n\n\nRicky Linex retired in 2021 as a wildlife biologist for the Natural Resources Conservation Service and works as a range and wildlife consultant.  With NRCS Linex worked 51 counties in north central Texas covering the Rolling Plains\, Cross Timbers\, Blackland Prairie and Post Oak Savannah vegetational regions.  He worked 38.5 years with NRCS in Goldthwaite\, Snyder\, Abilene and Weatherford.  He is the author of Range Plants of North Central Texas\, A Land Users Guide to Their Identification\, Value and Management\, a plant identification book for Texas.  Range Plants was recognized in 2015 as an outstanding publication by the Texas Chapter-The Wildlife Society\, the Native Plant Society of Texas and the Texas Section-Society for Range Management and is available through the Botanical Research Institute of Texas.  He currently serves as President of the Native Plant Society of Texas. \n\n\n\nThis is a virtual meeting using Zoom.
