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.
