The Hill Country Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists invites the public to a special presentation on the Texas Waters Specialist program.
The event, featuring Deb Youngblood, a Texas Master Naturalist, will take place on Monday, July 22, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at the Guadalupe Basin Natural Resources Center.
The Texas Waters Specialist program, sponsored by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, aims to train volunteers dedicated to the beneficial management of aquatic resources and habitats within Texas communities.
The curriculum covers a range of topics including aquatic habitats, karst geology, stream dynamics, and water conservation, supporting citizen science, water advocacy and related volunteer activities.
Deb Youngblood will discuss how to get involved with the program, the training process, and the various ways Texas Waters Specialists contribute to water conservation and preservation efforts.
“I have always been interested in nature and learning,” said Youngblood. “I hope to contribute to the preservation of Texas rivers.”
The event is open to the public and free of charge. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. with light refreshments served.
The TMN Hill Country Chapter will hold its monthly business meeting at 6:30 p.m., followed by Youngblood’s presentation at 7:00 p.m.
Online attendance via Facebook livestream and Zoom is also available. Pre-registration for Zoom is required.
