SUMMARY:Trees of Phil Hardberger Park
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Urban Ecology Center at Phil Hardberger Park\, 8400 NW Military Hwy\, San Antonio\, TX 78231 \n\n\n\nSPECIAL NOTE: Our presenter has so much to share we are “allowing” 2.5 hours for the full walk\, but participants are free to leave earlier. \n\n\n\nThe event’s purpose is to learn about the many special understory and canopy trees in our area. This walk will be led by Michael Nentwich of Bexar Branches Alliance. Michael has more than 15 years of experience in community forestry management and program development.

Austin University. He has extensive knowledge and a deep and abiding interest in trees as well as being a great communicator. You will be introduced to the common tree species found in the park\, and probably will get to see and learn about Eve’s Necklace\, Texas Kidneywood\, and Little-leaf Mulbery among many other fascinating species. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive about 7:45 am SHARP so we can register everyone and be ready for an 8:00 am start. You will walk an about 1.5 mile route starting and ending at the Urban Ecology Center.

SUMMARY:HEB Native Plant Outreach
DESCRIPTION:LOCATION: H-E-B\, 17238 Bulverde Rd\, San Antonio\, TX 78247 \n\n\n\nGood afternoon\, tabling volunteers!  As you know\, NPSOT has partnered with HEB\, which has promoted several native varieties in the spring and fall in their garden section of their stores. The plants will be tagged with the NPSOT logo and QR code to our database for information on the specific plant.  Multiple chapters will be offering tabling at HEB stores.  The San Antonio Chapter will be tabling at the Bulverde Road/Loop 1604 store.  We are asked to staff two hour shifts on March22 and 23 at this store. \n\n\n\nIf you are interested in working one of these shifts\, you will be engaging with HEB customers in the garden section and answering questions about the offered native plants. This is a great opportunity to educate a broad range of home gardeners as to the advantages of native plants.  Volunteers will be asked to view a one hour training provided by the State NPSOT before these dates. \n\n\n\nYou can view the shifts and sign up here:https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A45AAAB2BA3FAC43-55555301-2025 \n\n\n\nHaeley Giambalvo is the lead on this event\, and will be emailing volunteers directly with more specifics in 10 days or so. \n\n\n\nOrganizer: npsot.sanantonio@gmail.com
