May:  No Mow Zones – Presenter: Rachael Richter, Urban Wildlife Biologist, TPWD

Description: Mowing is time consuming. Mowing is expensive. Mowing, in most cases, doesn’t provide any benefit to wildlife. So why are so many of our community greenspaces dominated by mowed fields? This presentation will cover the benefits of reduced mowing programs, best management practices for “no mow” zones, and tips for starting a successful program in your community.

June: Volunteer Safety  Presenter:  Kathy Granillo, Refuge Manager – Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, USFWS

Description: Being outdoors and conducting fieldwork can be a wonderful, satisfying experience. But only if everyone stays safe.  What does that mean? And how can we best accomplish a safe outdoor experience? This presentation and discussion will answer those questions and will be relevant for all experience levels. We will discuss both physical and social safety, resources to help keep us safe, and more. Bring your experiences and questions as we delve into outdoor safety for all.

July  New:  “Annual Meeting 101″ Presented by Mary Pearl Meuth, and Michelle Haggarty.

 

Plastic free July – A Project Highlight    Presenter: John O’Connell, Brazoria Country Extension Agent and Cradle of Texas TMN Advisor.     THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE RESCHEDULED DUE TO HURRICANE BERYL>

Description: Coast into July with a TMNTuesday focused on sustainability projects initiated by some of our coastal Texas Master Naturalist (TMN) chapters focused on plastic clean-up for Plastic Free July!
Presenting on the Texas Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program, John O’Connell, Brazoria County Extension Agent and Cradle of Texas TMN Advisor, will share how the program got started, how the chapter is involved and where others can get involved in their local waterways with collecting monofilament lines. Monofilament is another name for single-strand, high-density nylon fishing line that is used on fishing reels. Used line can be harmful to marine wildlife and boat motors. Birds and animals cannot see discarded monofilament fishing line, so it is easy for them to become tangled in it and starve, drown or lose a limb.
Galveston Bay Area Chapter will then share with us their process for reestablishing their Beach Cleanup Events. Slowed during COVID-19, these chapter volunteer service and social gatherings are being reignited by the current chapter leadership to create increase comradery and community among members, provide easy outlets for volunteer service in group settings and rebuild the culture of coastal suitability.
