SUMMARY:Party in the Prickly Pear – Williamson County Chapter Meeting\, June 11
DESCRIPTION:Join NPSOT-Williamson County on Thursday\, June 11\, 2026\, when our featured topic will be “Party in the Prickly Pear” with Becky Roe. Free and open to the public. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting. \n\n\n\nAbout our topic: Prickly pear occurs throughout the state of Texas; it’s even our state plant. Have you ever really thought about this cactus? We will take a look at this family of native plants. First\, a little about cacti in general and what makes prickly pear different. What is its place in nature? How have humans used it in the past and today? This will be a fun look at a plant we see everyday. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: Becky Roe is a lifelong nature lover; she found her niche when she became a Master Naturalist in 2022 with the Good Water chapter. As a Master Naturalist\, her interest in plants has intensified\, especially native plants\, which led to her joining the Native Plant Society in 2023. She is a member of the Tonkawa Chapter and is an associate member of the Williamson County Chapter. Becky also volunteers at Mother Neff State Park as often as possible\, helping with school field trip days and leading guided plant hikes. She enjoys sharing with others how plants interact with all the other parts of nature\, and with how people have historically used those plants. \n\n\n\n==> This month’s in-person location is the Georgetown Public Library\, 2nd floor\, 402 West 8th St\, Georgetown\, TX 78626. Come early (6:30 PM) for expert advice\, to check out the seed swap board\, or just to visit. \n\n\n\n==> To attend via Zoom\, register at https://npsot-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/pvggnm-ASyKwDxXu7aVpAA#/registration \n\n\n\nThe original meeting announcement is here on the Williamson County Chapter’s blog page. \n\n\n\nAt every meeting\, we give away a book — about native plants or the meeting topic — to one randomly chosen in-person attendee!
