Jonathan Watt, President, Fredericksburg Chapter of NPSOT, recently announced the September 23 guest speaker in the September issue of the Native News.
Warren Day, the USDA District Conservationist in Fredericksburg will highlight the conservation services that support our goals in restoring native plants. He has been part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), throughout west Texas for 15 years, serving in Gillespie Country for the last 7 years.
“We’re working hard at NCRS to educate the public on how to be part of the conservation solution ,” said Day. “I’m looking forward to sharing tips on how homeowners and landowners can control invasive species and use our soil information to keep our water clean and abundant, our soils healthy, and have resilient landscapes and thriving agricultural communities.”
“Mr. Day will share potential control methods for a variety of invasive non-native plants and demostrate how to use the NRCS’ Web Soil Survey to map soils and obtain data that is useful to home and landowners.” Watt said, “We can all do our part to voluntarily conserve our resources, and he’ll share some great tips about how to do that.”
