Speaker: Mary Pearl Mueth
Topics: Master Naturalist 101, the 25th anniversary of the Master Naturalist Program, and Volunteer Appreciation Month
Speaker Biography:
Mary Pearl is the Assistant State Coordinator of the Texas Master Naturalist (TMN) Program. A partnership program established in 1998, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and Texas Parks & Wildlife Department proudly administer the program with the mission to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the State of Texas. Mary Pearl was a lead editor for the TMN Statewide Curriculum published in 2016 which encompasses 24 units of material covering instruction that range from geology to ornithology to wetland ecology—all written by the state’s top scientists and experts. Mary Pearl also organizes the Texas Master Naturalist Program’s Annual Meeting each fall with three full days of professional training sessions, hands on workshops, field based events and evenings filled with food, fun and fellowship.
Mary Pearl is an avid environmentalist and educator. She is always eager to learn and eager to pass that knowledge on. Her greatest joy at the end of the day comes from watching her two sons and young daughter enjoy the outdoors, enjoy discovering the little nuances and creatures, and delight in recognizing something that they have learned about the world around them. She resides in Giddings, Texas with her three children and husband.
Heartwood Chapter Meetings are scheduled monthly on the second Wednesday (except December) at 6 p.m. on the first floor of Sam Houston State University, Woodlands Campus, 3380 College Park Dr, The Woodlands.
