AT: NPSOT Austin Webinar – Native Riparian Vegetation for Holding Creeks and Rivers in Texas

Virtual, May 21st 7pm – 8pm. Pre-register to receive zoom invite.

Our guest speaker this month is Ricky Linex. His presentation is a virtual creek walk across Texas identifying riparian plants found in different regions of the state.  Native plants in riparian areas across the state of Texas will be shown and discussed.  Plants are what hold the creeks and rivers together and we need to manage these plants to improve riparian health and survival.
