GLC Texas Waters group meeting

VMS opportunity: Watershed and Waterway Protection

For all things water, join the GLC Texas Waters group.

Members are encouraged to complete the online Texas Waters Specialist curriculum independently. The curriculum is nine chapters. If successfully completed, a member may record 1 hour of advanced training per chapter for a total of 9 hours. VMS opportunity: TX Waters Certfication Training.

This group will work together to identify and implement projects for our chapter addressing water issues.

• Currently our chapter supports Adopt-a-Highway, which is an approved Texas Waters Specialist project (where do you think all that trash ends up when it rains?).
• In 2024, we established a chapter water quality testing group in conjunction with the Texas Stream Team to complement existing water quality testing in conjunction with the Lower Colorado River Watch.
• In 2025, we plan to initiate a river cleanup project.
• Two watersheds in our chapter area (Mill Creek in Washington County and Middle Yegua Creek in Lee County) have been identified as impaired watersheds, highlighting the need for water-related education.

This group meets the third Tuesday of each month via WebEx from 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Watch your email for the monthly meeting invitation.
