Want a fun way to learn the Native Grasses and Wildflowers of Central Texas? We are training volunteers to help in our on-site land management studies in which we look at the effects of prescribed fire and mowing on plant communities.
Every experience level is welcome. The surveys will be conducted in small teams, with staff members nearby at all times. New participants in the surveys will attend one four-hour training class, and commit to work at least two four-hour field sessions. Please come prepared for 4 hours in the field. Training is optional for those of you who have volunteered in the past.
- Training sessions are available:
- Wednesday, March 30 from 1:00PM to 5:00PM
- Thursday, March 31 from 9:00AM to 1:00 PM
- Saturday, April 2 from 9:00AM to 1:00PM
- Surveys will begin on Tuesday, April 12 and continue Tuesdays through Saturdays until completed, usually about two to three weeks.
- Morning (9:00-1:00) and afternoon (2:00-6:00) shifts are available each day.
