DESCRIPTION:Jan 6 News!  Due to the weather forecast for Central Texas on Thursday evening\, this January 9 meeting will now be held only by Zoom and not in-person.  \n\n\n\nJoin NPSOT-Williamson County on Thursday\, January 9\, 2025\, when our featured topic will be “Creating a Native Seed Library in your Community” with Craig Bruska.  Free and open to the public.

During his 40-year career in construction\, engineering\, and facilities he worked for eight years for the Lake County (IL) Forest Preserve District overseeing the maintenance and construction of over 100 miles of multi-use county wide trails in the 35\,000 acre preserve system. He oversaw the restoration over 1\,000 acres of wetlands by removing field tiles. His crews battled invasive species from European Buckthorn to Purple Loosestrife.  \n\n\n\nSince moving to Texas in 2019 and settling into New Braunfels in 2020 he has worked to learn the plants of the Blackland Prairie and Edwards Plateau. This includes attending various lectures and symposiums on Native Texas Plants. He has also completed the Native Plant Society of Texas – Native Landscaping Certification Program and is a Texas Master Naturalist. Craig has helped create native seed libraries in Comal\, Hays\, and Guadalupe counties and is working on adding two more. He is also the NPSOT State Chair of the Native Seed Committee. \n\n\n\nJan 6 News!
