April Meeting
In celebration of Volunteer Awareness Month, we will hear from three of our partner organizations:

As an environmental educator, Grace serves as a resource for proper disposal and recycling of both day-to-day and out-of-the-ordinary items. Additionally, she serves as the zero-waste liaison at selected township events, hosts recycling collection events, and coordinates the yearly community litter cleanup day. Grace will provide an overview of recycling in The Woodlands, explain how to conveniently expand your recycling efforts, and discuss the numerous benefits of recycling for the community. Teri MacArthur is a founding member of the Heartwood Master Naturalist Chapter and was previously a member of the Gulf Coast Chapter. She currently serves The Woodlands Township as Water Conservation Coordinator, offering training and volunteering opportunities related to water (and what isn’t?) for residents of the Township and nearby areas. Teri will introduce ways to protect local waterways and ecosystems.
