SUMMARY:Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA) Workday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for BCCNA workdays! \n\n\n\nThe BCCNA project involves the restoration and enhancement of the Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA). The BCCNA is comprised of 13-acres on either side of the Old No. 9 Trail\, behind the library. We are working towards restoring this area to a native pollinator habitat\, creating a wildlife corridor and haven within the city. \n\n\n\nBCCNA Workdays take place on the first and third Thursdays of each month. \n\n\n\nOur meeting place will be in the Boerne Patrick Heath Public Library parking lot near the windmill. If you don’t see us at the windmill\, walk out behind the library across the creek as we’ve likely already started!  \n\n\n\nEach volunteer will be required to fill out the City of Boerne’s liability waiver the first time he or she volunteers. \n\n\n\nContact Jeff Schwarz at jeffschwarz27@gmail.com for more info.

SUMMARY:Below the Roots: Why Native Plants Depend on Soil Function to Truly Thrive - January 15
DESCRIPTION:Native plants are often seen as the solution to degraded landscapes\, yet many native plantings can struggle to fully establish or perform over time. This talk explores what native plants require belowground in order to truly thrive\, and why soil function often determines success long before species selection does. By examining soil as a dynamic system that governs water\, biology\, and resilience\, this discussion reframes native plants not as a shortcut to restoration\, but as indicators of underlying land health. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\nErik Fritz is an edaphodynamic engineer and founder of Tierra Buena Regenerative\, a firm focused on diagnosing and correcting soil and land systems as functional infrastructure. His work centers on soil as a dynamic system governing water movement\, nutrient cycling\, biological activity\, and long-term landscape performance. Rather than treating surface symptoms\, he designs soil-level interventions that restore function\, stability\, and resilience across agricultural\, urban\, and restoration landscapes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur monthly chapter meetings are held on every 3rd Thursday\, January – November. Our meetings are free and open to the public thanks to our members and sponsors.  \n\n\n\nThe presentation will start at 7:00 pm\, but come at 6:45 pm for a meet and greet with snacks. \n\n\n\nHouston Arboretum and Nature Center \n\n\n\n610 Entrance (preferred)120 W Loop N FwyHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nWoodway Entrance4501 Woodway DriveHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nMeetings will also be live-streamed and recorded for later viewing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Houston Chapter Page
