FEBRUARY MEETINGS
BLACKLAND PRAIRIE – THEN AND NOW
BY CAROL CLARK
VIRTUAL MEETING, FEBRUARY 22, 7 P.M.
For anyone who’s heard one of Carol’s previous presentations, you know what a great speaker she is. We’re happy to welcome her back to talk about the Blackland Prairie. Blackland Prairie remnants are some of the rarest and most endangered ecosystems on Earth. This program will explore the kind of interdependent plant and animal communities the settlers found when they first arrived on the Blackland Prairie, and unique challenges they faced due to the unusual soils. We’ll contrast that historic scene with what is left here now.
Carol Clark is an amateur botany enthusiast, a Monarch Watch Conservation Specialist, a Texas Master Naturalist and longtime member of the Native Plant Society of Texas. She and her husband own and operate Clark Haven, a wildlife reserve and custom wildflower seed business in Cooke County. Carol grew up with a nature photographer father and wildlife artist brother, and has spent much of her life looking around in the great outdoors. Her favorite things to do are leading discovery walks in local natural areas, and finding and photographing interesting plants.
This will be a Zoom meeting, and you must pre-register before the event. Our last event exceeded our limit of 100 attendees so I apologize that some of you couldn’t attend. There’s no way to tell if this meeting will have the large number of last-minute registrations, but I’ve added a question of what county the registrants are from in an attempt to let me allow you into the meeting first.
Several things are recommended. Sign up as soon as possible. You’ll receive an automatic Zoom notice with your own personal log-in. You might want to flag that email so you can easily find it several weeks later. My request is that you check into the waiting room 10 minutes before the meeting is set to start. I will begin to let our people into the meeting about 5 minutes before the start time of 7 p.m. when everyone else will be allowed in.
