Excerpt from the President, Sheri Wilcox: Fall always brings a flurry of events and a resurgence of enthusiasm for outdoor activities. All our pollinator habitats will need some refreshing after the hot, dry summer. Our educational calendar also kicked off with members volunteering at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Youth Firearms and Safety Training held at Nails Creek.
School tours have restarted at San Felipe de Austin, and we are planning a special Nature Creep Show for Halloween on October 25 and 26 at 2:00 p.m. We also will host an outreach booth at the Father of Texas event on November 1, 2025. Our Texas Waters Group will be hosting a clean-up of our new Adopt-a-Highway route in Columbus on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. We are collaborating with our neighboring Coastal Prairie TMN chapter to assist our friends at the Attwater Prairie Chicken NWR. Workdays for that project are scheduled every Friday from 8:00-11:00 a.m. These are just a few of the many volunteer opportunities available. I hope everyone will find the one or many that bring you joy.
