The Hill Country Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists invites the public to attend a free presentation on “Land Stewardship in the Hill Country” on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m.
The event, featuring Daniel Oppenheimer, Land Program Director at the Hill Country Alliance, will take place at the Guadalupe Basin Natural Resources Center, 125 Lehmann Drive, Suite 100, in Kerrville.
Oppenheimer will discuss strategies for restoring and preserving landscapes unique to the Texas Hill Country, focusing on topics such as erosion management, invasive plant control, and riparian stewardship.
Attendees will also learn about the region’s distinctive natural resources, the importance of soil health for biodiversity, and the critical role of surface and groundwater interactions.
A fifth-generation Texan, Oppenheimer has led the Hill Country Alliance’s land stewardship efforts since 2017, working with private landowners, agencies, and non-profits to promote conservation.
Before joining the organization, he spent six years coordinating the Dolores River Restoration Partnership in Colorado and Utah.
The presentation is hosted by the Hill Country Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists, a volunteer organization supported by Texas Parks and Wildlife and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.
The chapter covers 10 counties and offers training in natural resource management and conservation.
The event will be available in person and online via Facebook Livestream and Zoom. To attend via Zoom, participants must register in advance. Doors will open at 6 p.m., with refreshments provided, followed by the chapter’s monthly business meeting at 6:30 p.m.
