The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting. \n\n\n\nAbout our topic:  Come and learn the plant-identifying characteristics for 25 native perennial grasses found in and around Central Texas. Clear photos will showcase the features to look for in making positive identification. Grass ID may seem difficult but will be made easier by the photos and a handout on the characteristics that will guide you in making identification. Never again fear the grasses as you walk across the prairies and woods of Central Texas. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: Ricky Linex is a wildlife biologist having retired from the Natural Resources Conservation Service where he worked 38.5 years. Over the previous 18 years Ricky served 52 counties in north-central Texas. Ricky is the author of Range Plants of North Central Texas: A Land User’s Guide to their Identification\, Value and Management. His assistance to landowners and managers involves mutual education on how to better manage rangelands for sustainable use by livestock and wildlife. Knowing the plants and how to manage them is critical for success as a land steward. Ricky is currently President of the Native Plant Society of Texas. \n\n\n\nNOTE: 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/n5jFwji-Q4-0n7kclxcZzA#/registration \n\n\n\nThe original meeting announcement is here on the Williamson County Chapter’s blog page.
