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 in 2025.  \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 in 2025. \n\n\n\nContact Jeff Schwarz at jeffschwarz27@gmail.com for more info.

SUMMARY:Stiff Creek Wildflower Walk - 25th Anniversary Edition

Meg Inglis\, Society Executive Director\, is honored to be part of the celebration.  \n\n\n\n\nMeg will give a brief overview of recent state level accomplishments and activities and then respond to any questions that attendees might have. \n\n\n\nA few state level highlights include: \n\n\n\n\nWhat is the member portal? How to access it and what lies within?\n\n\n\nDelights of the new state website – cool (and useful!) new sites such as the native plant database.\n\n\n\nGaining more chapter publicity through state communications digital and print media!\n\n\n\nTips to making chapter life easier – key resources.\n\n\n\nSociety swag.\n\n\n\n\nLet’s catch up! \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:  Meg Inglis accepted the position as Executive Director in 2021.
