Our September chapter meeting will be held Saturday, September 18, beginning at 9:30 at Winedale. Join us for the business meeting to be followed by an AT presentation by Rebekah Dobrasko, Environmental Program Manager for TxDOT.
Here is a short abstract of the presentation:
What does 80,000 miles of roadway have to do with prehistoric cultures or pollinators? TxDOT helps care for the state’s natural and cultural resources in tandem with the vision of building a safe and efficient transportation system. TxDOT has archeologists, vegetation specialists, wildlife biologists, karst geologists and other environmental scientists that work to manage the resources that are important to communities – all before building roads. Learn more about some of the exciting research and programs from TxDOT, such as how TxDOT is the world’s largest creator of bat habitat, or why certain plants are used in the Right of Way to help important pollinators. In addition, you can learn ways to get involved with TxDOT’s environmental work, or how you can get involved in planning transportation projects with the environment in mind.
