Buckets and brooms are also useful. These tools can be incredibly helpful for various tasks.\n\n\n\nWater: Stay hydrated! Bring a water bottle to keep yourself refreshed during the work.\n\n\n\nHat:  A hat with a wide brim provides shade for your face\, neck\, and ears\, protecting you from direct sunlight.

SUMMARY:Insects:Nature's Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Urban Ecology Center at Phil Hardberger Park\, 8400 NW Military Hwy\, San Antonio\, TX 78231 \n\n\n\nThis is a two-part event: \n\n\n\nPart 1: Families with upper elementary age children and adults should arrive by 7:50 am to register for an 8 am sharp Entomology Talk covering types of insect\, morphology\, and the critical role of insects as pollinators. Then join families with younger children on the savanna for an hour of insect catch\, ID\, and release. We will provide nets. \n\n\n\nPart 2: Families with younger children should arrive and sign-in by 8:50 to join the earlier group as it moves from the classroom to the savanna. \n\n\n\nSpecial Note: Definitely wear long pants and bring insect repellant and\, sunscreen. We will be walking on sunny grassy areas. \n\n\n\nOur objective is to learn about insects\, identify some of the more common species found in our local area\, and learn the role of insects in the environment. The event will be led by Nicolas Phillips an expert student of Entomology\, an award-winning insect collector\, and an Integrated Pest Control professional. Nicolas has been an enthusiast and lover of insects since early childhood and brings his passion and knowledge to our park. \n\n\n\nThe morning begins in the small classroom with an hour overview of all you ever wanted to know about these arthropods. We will then move to the nearby savanna where families with younger children will join us to catch\, ID\, and release insects. Nicolas will identify and elaborate upon our captured specimens to explain general concepts. The netted insects are then released back into nature. The park is a great place to find a variety of interesting insects. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive on the patio at 7:50 am SHARP (or by 8:50 am SHARP for families with young children). Minors must be accompanied by an adult parent/guardian. Dogs are not appropriate for this event. DIFFICULTY: Easy\, geared to families with children\, as well as interested adults.

SUMMARY:Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA) Workday
DESCRIPTION:Join us for BCCNA workdays! \n\n\n\nThe BCCNA project involves the restoration and enhancement of the Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA). The BCCNA is comprised of 13-acres on either side of the Old No. 9 Trail\, behind the library. We are working towards restoring this area to a native pollinator habitat\, creating a wildlife corridor and haven within the city. \n\n\n\nBCCNA Workdays take place on the first and third Thursdays of each month. \n\n\n\nOur meeting place will be in the Boerne Patrick Heath Public Library parking lot near the windmill. If you don’t see us at the windmill\, walk out behind the library across the creek as we’ve likely already started!  \n\n\n\nEach volunteer will be required to fill out the City of Boerne’s liability waiver the first time he or she volunteers. \n\n\n\nContact Jeff Schwarz at jeffschwarz27@gmail.com for more info.
