SUMMARY:CANCELED - Keeping it Local: Integrating Native Plants in Your Landscape - Hybrid Clear Lake Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Due to the impending arrival of Beryl\, we have decided to cancel our chapter meeting scheduled for Monday\, July 8\, 2024. Stay safe during the storm and we will see you next month! \n\n\n\nPlease join us for our chapter meeting in person or online! \n\n\n\n6:15 Doors Opens – UHCL Bayou Building\, Room 13336:40 Zoom Opens6:45 Business Meeting6:55 Plant of the Month7:00 Guest Speaker \n\n\n\nWhat’s all the hype about native plants? Through photos and stories\, native Texan Cherie Colburn demonstrates her gardening mantra of “first\, do no harm” by showing how attention to where\, why\, and what’s in our gardens can make us better stewards of our world. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nA professional landscape designer and native Texan\, Cherie has designed hundreds of low-maintenance commercial and residential landscape designs since 1994 through her company\, Nature’s Tapestry. She’s also helped create schoolyard gardens and habitats throughout Texas. As a garden writer\, she’s authored traditionally published books for both children and adults while also contributing more than 100 magazine and newspaper articles over the last four decades. Cherie’s gardening blog – Garden Dishes – was named by PBS’ Central Texas Gardener as a favorite. \n\n\n\nIn her spare time\, you can find Cherie singing and gardening – often simultaneously – at her home or church in The Woodlands where she feels confident she’s proven the theory that singing to plants makes them grow faster. Or\, maybe that it only works on native plants and noxious weeds! \n\n\n\nIn-person – Parking Pass Required\n\n\n\nIf you have a pass\, don’t forget it – you will not get another one if you picked one up previously. If you need a pass\, arrive early enough to pick one up in Room 1333 (meeting room) and to place it in your car.

SUMMARY:Milkweed and Floral Resource Availability for Monarchs in the US - June 25
DESCRIPTION:Be among the first to discover what 8 years of Integrated Monarch Monitoring Program data can tell us about monarch habitat! MJV staff will share the findings from a variety of studies that utilize the IMMP to survey monarchs and their habitat. They’ll summarize habitat metrics across over a thousand sites\, covering much of the monarch’s breeding range\, and explore variation in milkweed density and floral resource availability across geographic regions and land uses. Then take a more focused dive into California\, where MJV teams have surveyed several Bureau of Land Management sites for monarchs and milkweed. \n\n\n\nPresented by Jennifer Thieme & Sarah Gomes\, Monarch Joint Venture. \n\n\n\nThis presentation is part of the Monarch Conservation Webinar Series by Monarch Joint Venture.
