The Lower Trinity Basin Chapter holds regular monthly meetings where members, guests, and prospective volunteers can gather to learn about the natural resources of Southeast Texas. Meetings provide an opportunity to connect with other nature enthusiasts, hear from guest speakers, and stay informed about chapter activities.
Our chapter meetings are open to the public and feature programs on a wide range of Texas Master Naturalist topics.
We meet on the first Tuesday of each month (except holidays), from 6:30–8:00 p.m., at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, 2041 Trinity Street, Liberty, TX 77575. Visitors are always welcome.
Refreshments are generously provided by our members — thank you!
