SUMMARY:The Soil Food Web Under the Lens of a Microscope – Williamson County Chapter Meeting\, October 9
DESCRIPTION:Updated 10/3/2025 for new in-person location. See below for details. \n\n\n\nJoin NPSOT-Williamson County on Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\, when our featured topic will be The Soil Food Web Under the Lens of a Microscope with Laurie Dixon. Free and open to the public. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM.  The guest presentation begins after a short business meeting. \n\n\n\nAbout our topic:  When we think of ecosystems\, we often picture trees\, pollinators\, and wildlife—but the foundation of an ecosystem’s vitality begins underground. Join us for a fascinating\, microscope-guided exploration of the soil food web\, the complex underground ecosystem that powers native plant communities. From beneficial fungi that form root partnerships to tiny predators that balance soil populations\, this talk reveals the often-overlooked organisms essential to plant health\, nutrient cycling\, and ecological restoration. \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: Laurie Dixon is a landscape design consultant with a strong focus on ecological principles and the founder of Biotic Lens\, a consultancy dedicated to soil microscopy education and applications. She combines her background in landscape design with specialized soil microscopy to help growers and landscapers implement a biological approach. Laurie is a long time Master Gardener and serves on the board of the Texas Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (TOFGA). \n\n\n\nDue to A/C maintenance at the Georgetown Public Library\, the in-person location for the meeting on Thursday\, October 9\, has moved to the Community Room at the Georgetown Parks & Rec Administration Building (address below). The Zoom information has not changed. \n\n\n\nNOTE: this month’s in-person location is the Georgetown Parks & Rec Administration Building\, 1101 N College St\, Georgetown\, Texas 78626 (not the public library). 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/zDUfv6hKQMqLTpNQjtM-vA#/registration \n\n\n\nThe original meeting announcement is here on the Williamson County Chapter’s blog page.
