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.

SUMMARY:Transformation of Lewisville Spaces to Thriving Habitats and Short Business Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The City of Lewisville Parks and Recreation Department has taken an important step towards preserving and protecting the local ecosystem by establishing pollinator prairies and no-mow zones. These prairies are designed to provide habitats for various pollinators\, such as bees\, butterflies\, and birds\, who play a crucial role in pollinating flowers and crops. The initiative involved transforming unused spaces in the city\, such as road medians and undeveloped parkland\, into thriving habitats for pollinators with the help of native plants and wildflowers. Chris Chastain\, Environmental Preserve and Greenbelt Manager\, will present the program and answer all your questions. \n\n\n\n6:30 pm – Social time7:00 pm – Zoom opens and meeting begins \n\n\n\nOpen to the public. \n\n\n\nWe hope you can join our meeting in person at TWU’s Ann Stuart Science Complex.  Campus parking is open after 6:00 pm. \n\n\n\nIf you can’t join us in person\, we invite you to our Zoom meeting. \n\n\n\nZOOM PARTICIPANTS ONLY: Please Register in advance for this meeting: \n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/wm475rUZRam2kATnwYJuKw \n\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting

SUMMARY:All Seasons Field Trip: Summer\, Benbrook\, North Central Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Come explore the Benbrook Environmentally Sensitive Area with us. This 700-acre site has been designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) by the Army Corps of Engineers. Part of the greater Fort Worth Prairie ecoregion\, it offers views of the unspoiled grand prairie with riparian features. \n\n\n\nThere are a multitude of native prairie grasses and forbs. Seeing it in winter\, spring\, summer\, and fall provides a better understanding of the ecosystem and an appreciation for nature’s beauty. It’s great for birders year-round and for those interested in looking for monarch caterpillars (in April & May). \n\n\n\nWe will walk about two miles\, and you will need sturdy shoes and tick prevention/precautions. There will also be some rocky-ish ups and downs. Kim Conrow\, a member of NPSOT and a Texas Master Naturalist\, will lead the hike. Kim has been coming to the ESA for several years and is eager to share her knowledge of this area with us. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to be a NPSOT member to attend this event. Attendees will need to sign a liability and photo waiver.  This is a FREE event! \n\n\n\nRegistration is limited to 20 people. You can sign up for one date\, or all of them! Participants who complete all 4 will receive a certificate. \n\n\n\nSign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4FA8A72AA3FAC52-milkweed \n\n\n\nSUMMER: Saturday\, July 18\, 7:30am (2-hour event)FALL: TBA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOCATION:Meeting point will be emailed to registrants.Benbrook Lake AreaBenbrook\, TX
