See you on the trail! \n\n\n\nIf you can’t do manual labor be an education liason – community service volunteers need guidance to introduce them to the nature trail’s needs and to help identify plants. You can play an important role helping educate and supervising the volunteers. \n\n\n\nVolunteer hours count towards Texas Master Naturalist and Texas Master Gardeners. \n\n\n\nAbout the Nature Trail\n\n\n\nChandor Nature Trail is just under one mile long and is open for hikers and their leashed dogs free of charge during Chandor Garden hours. The Garden’s address is 711 W Lee Street in Weatherford.   URL:https://www.npsot.org/event/chandor-nature-trail-spruce-up-volunteer-opportunity-cross-timbers-chapter-weatherford-saturday-07-25-2026-at-9-a-m/ CATEGORIES:Volunteer Opportunity,Workday ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.npsot.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/CHANDOR-SPRUCE-UP.avif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260725T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260725T110000 DTSTAMP:20260613T163538 CREATED:20260604T031407Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T031409Z UID:10007590-1784970000-1784977200@www.npsot.org SUMMARY:Garden Workday at the Moody Gardens Demonstration Bird Garden DESCRIPTION:Galveston County Chapter partners with Moody Gardens to help maintain their native plant garden for birds! \n\n\n\nEmail galvestonnpsot@gmail.com for details if you would like to join in. \n\n\n\nThis recurring workday is scheduled for every 4th Saturday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am moving forward.
