SUMMARY:The Not-Moths of Moth Night - Hybrid Clear Lake Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our chapter meeting in person or online! \n\n\n\n6:15 Doors Opens – UHCL Bayou Building\, Room 25246:40 Zoom Opens6:45 Business Meeting6:55 Plant of the Month7:00 Guest Speaker8:00 Mothing at UHCL \n\n\n\nRich Sommer will discuss “mothing” and some of the interesting species he has encountered. While Rich loves a hike hunting for insects\, an easy way to find specimens is using a UV light to attract them at night. Engaging in regular “moth nights” at locations such as Exploration Green and Deer Park Prairie\, Rich actively introduces others to the world of mothing at venues like Buffalo Bayou and Memorial Park. Interested in boosting your observation and species count for the City Nature Challenge? Consider mothing in your own backyard\, as these “moth nights” attract a diverse array of night-flying insects. He will also talk about the upcoming City Nature Challenge\, an event he eagerly anticipates each year. Notably\, he was the Houston region’s top observer the last two years. Furthermore\, he will highlight the role of iNaturalist\, an integral tool in his mothing pursuits. \n\n\n\nFollowing the meeting\, attendees are encouraged to participate in a hands-on mothing experience. Rich and his team will have moth stations set up with UV lights and will provide assistance with viewing and identifying the specimens for up to an hour after the meeting. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nRich Sommer began volunteering at Exploration Green nearly 10 years ago\, with little knowledge about native plants. Through his involvement with Exploration Green\, NPSOT\, the Texas Master Naturalist program\, and iNaturalist\, he gained a deep understanding of the importance of native plants to the ecosystem. He joined NPSOT around 2016\, the Exploration Green Board of Directors in 2018\, and the Gulf Coast TMN chapter in spring 2021. Over time\, he started noticing the insects in his flower and bird photographs. As his knowledge expanded\, he became fascinated by their life cycles and their complex relationships with plants\, mammals\, and other insects. Rich finds parasitic wasps and insect galls particularly intriguing. \n\n\n\nIn-person – Parking Pass Required\n\n\n\nParking passes required. If you have a pass\, don’t forget it – you will not get another one if you picked one up previously. DO NOT park in faculty/staff parking (tickets will be issued).

SUMMARY:“Get Real” Garden Design with Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Fredericksburg Chapter of Native Plant Society of Texas Speaker Paula Stone on April 23 \n\n\n\n Find out how to make your landscape maintenance easier by choosing the right layout\, the right style and the best plants for your area at the next meeting of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT)\, Fredericksburg Chapter on April 23 from 6:30-8 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Halle. \n\n\n\nPaula Stone\, Vice President of the Fredericksburg Chapter of the NPSOT\, will share her extensive knowledge about landscape design using native Texas plants. \n\n\n\n“I’ll show you practical ways to build gardens that will enhance your property and be less work as time goes by\,” noted Stone. “I once heard someone say that\, ‘The gardening should get easier as the gardener gets older.’” \n\n\n\n“Paula is a great teacher when it comes to learning how to minimize weeding and watering while maximizing entertainment and enjoyment\,” said Deborah Simmons\, president of the Fredericksburg chapter of NPSOT. “She’ll explore ways to make that happen in our Hill Country gardens.” \n\n\n\nOver the last 15 years\, Stone has tried various plants and gardening techniques to deal with the caliche soil\, lack of rainfall\, excessive heat\, and occasional ice storm that are common to Gillespie County.  Her presentation will take that all into account as she describes what’s needed in an easy-to-maintain native landscape.  Stone hopes that people new to gardening in the Hill Country will benefit from the many tips she will be sharing.   \n\n\n\nStone is a three-term past president of the NPSOT Fredericksburg Chapter\, and has been gardening in Fredericksburg since purchasing her property in 2009.  Stone bought and restored a historic stone home on the edge of Fredericksburg and took the property from being so derelict that the realtor wouldn’t go inside to being on the 2012 Historic Home Tour.  The 10 acres surrounding the house were in equally horrific condition\, having been an exotic game farm/puppy mill that had “every conceivable weed that will grow in the hill country” says Stone. She recently built a dome home on the property and is designing the landscape that will surround it. \n\n\n\nThe chapter holds its monthly meetings on the 4th Tuesday of the month at St. Joseph’s Halle (212 W. San Antonio St.\, Fredericksburg). There is a social time at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting starts at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend in person and via online streaming (www.youtube.com/@fredericksburgtexasnativeg4884). More information is online at Facebook (@fbgtxnpsot)\, Instagram @npsot_fredericksburg_chapter\, and https://npsot.org/chapters/fredericksburg/. Meetings are open to the public.

SUMMARY:Medicinal Applications of Native Plants by Native Americans - April 30
DESCRIPTION:The Native Americans utilized many native plants for treatment of various illnesses for thousands of years. Unfortunately\, much of this knowledge was set aside when synthetic medicines became widely available. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a special meeting where we welcome Ricky Linex\, President of the Native Plant Society of Texas\, as he showcases 45 native Texas forbs\, shrubs and trees that were used medicinally by many tribes across Texas and the southern US. The treatment method and the illness or disease treated will be discussed for each plant. Resources will be shown that can be used to research plants you are interested in to see what tribes might have used the plants. \n\n\n\nA link for remote attendance will be posted as the date gets near. \n\n\n\nLocation: South Texas Ecotourism Center\, 501 Hwy 100\, Laguna Vista\, Tx. \n\n\n\n\nQuestions? rio-grande-valley-chapter@gmail.com
