TPWD Texas Waters Webinar

Through Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) Texas Waters program, a corps of well-informed volunteer specialists is developed who provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of aquatic resources and aquatic habitats within their communities for the state of Texas.
