SUMMARY:San Antonio Chapter Meeting September 2025
DESCRIPTION:Arrive at 6:30pm to share or find native plants at the Plants x Donation table. \n\n\n\nThis will be a “hybrid” meeting\, attend in-person or online. \n\n\n\n\nIn person: The Gathering Center at the Urban Ecology Center at Phil Hardberger Park\, 8400 NW Military Hwy\n\n\n\nOnline: Please register in advance to attend via Zoom.\n\n\n\n\nPresentation by Cleveland Powell\, Brad Weir\, Juan Soulas Conservation Planners at SAWSCultivating Water Savings with Native Plants\, A Retrospective of SAWS Conservation\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to saving water in a rapidly growing and drought-prone service area\, SAWS Conservation’s thinking about what works in SA landscapes has changed a lot even in the past twenty years. While native plants and the gardeners that love them have always been an important part of conservation messaging\, their availability has improved dramatically from what was once a somewhat niche market\, with many more options available from plant vendors. Looking at whether WaterSaver plants once recommended are still thriving in today’s conditions\, Cleve Powell\, Juan Soulas and Brad Wier will discuss how SAWS is using native plants to update its programs today. \n\n\n\nIf you are attending in person\, there is no need to register. However\, if you are attending via Zoom\, please register here before the meeting begins as late registration and entry will not be allowed. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n\n\n\nNote: The Zoom recording will be available within days after the meeting on our  YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Conservation Tips: Controlling Invasives\, How to Know Your Soil Type – Fredericksburg chapter Sept 23
DESCRIPTION:Warren Day\, the USDA District Conservationist in Fredericksburg and our speaker for the month of September\, highlights the conservation services that support our goals in restoring native plants. He has been part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)\, throughout west Texas for 15 years\, serving in Gillespie Country for the last 7 years. \n\n\n\n\n\n“We’re working hard at NCRS to educate the public on how to be part of the conservation solution\,” said Day. “I’m looking forward to sharing tips on how homeowners and landowners can control invasive species and use our soil information to keep our water clean and abundant\, our soils healthy\, and have resilient landscapes and thriving agricultural communities.” \n\n\n\n“Mr. Day will share potential control methods for a variety of invasive non-native plants and demonstrate how to use the NRCS’ Web Soil Survey to map soils and obtain data that is useful to home and landowners.” JonathanWatt\, Fredericksburg chapter president\, said\, “We can all do our part to voluntarily conserve our resources\, and he’ll share some great tips about how to do that.”
