SUMMARY:Rainscaping: The Next Generation of Water-Wise Landscaping - Austin Chapter Meeting June 18
DESCRIPTION:With droughts and floods\, our water challenges need an innovative solution. Rain gardens help solve both problems by maximizing the amount of water that stays on and in your landscape. Rain gardens support lush vegetation to provide habitat for butterflies and birds. Create your own backyard oasis by learning how to harvest the rain in this presentation \n\n\n\nShannon founded Ecosystem Regeneration Artisans (ERA) Landscaping in 2017 to unite talented land stewards on projects that realize the vision of creating healthy ecological communities. From residential Rainscapes to wildlife management on large-acreage ranches\, Shannon and her team create projects focused on earth care and people care. Their gardens use native plants to provide wildlife habitat for pollinators and birds\, incorporate perennial food crops for human consumption\, and involve mechanisms to harvest rainwater to capture it into the soil before it runs off\, and contributes to flooding. \n\n\n\nThis is a virtual meeting using Zoom.

SUMMARY:Night Wings Over the Prairie – Insect Life After Dark - June 20
DESCRIPTION:Moth Night at Deer Park Prairie\, July 22\, 2023\n\n\n\nAs native plant enthusiasts\, you probably know a lot about prairie plants and their associated insect life during the daytime.  But how much do you know about insect nightlife? Join us as we explore nocturnal insect species at three Houston-area prairies—Lawther-Deer Park\, Nash Prairie Preserve\, and Texas City Prairie Preserve. Mary Spolyar will show us who comes to the light when the sun goes down. From colorful microleafhoppers to mantidflies (which are not flies!) and very long-horned beetles to fabulous sphinx moths\, it’s a kaleidoscope of life in the prairie night.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker – Mary Spolyar\n\n\n\nMary with with Uhler’s Giant Water Bug\n\n\n\nMary Spolyar is a Texas Master Naturalist in the Gulf Coast Chapter and an instructor for the Native Landscape Certification Program (NLCP) classes offered by the Native Plant Society of Texas Houston Chapter. She enjoys volunteering for Houston Audubon’s Natives Nursery\, for which she visits local prairie remnants to collect seeds and helps to grow out native plants. A native Houstonian\, she loves being outdoors\, observing life and stalking small creatures with her smartphone. You can find her on iNaturalist as “rednat.” \n\n\n\n\n\nOur monthly chapter meetings are held on every 3rd Thursday\, January – November.
